Manifestações psiquiátricas da deficiência de vitamina B12

Abstract

Os autores revisam, neste artigo, os mecanismos fisiopatológicos, achados físicos e síndromes psiquiátricas ligados à hipovitaminose B 12 ' Os quadros psiquiátricos podem aparecer antes ou após a anemia megaloblástica e mesmo desacompanhados desta. A carência de B 12 foi mais relacionada, como fator causal, à depressão, psicose e demência, tendo a deficiência de folato um papel na duração dos episódios depressivos. Pelo menos em alguns pacientes com depressão ou demência, ocorre a deterioração do hábito alimentar, o que acaba levando ao déficit de cobaslamina, e não o contrário. A mania e outros quadros, como comportamento violento, delírio, paranóia, alucinações e mudança de comportamento, aparecem com menos freqüência, mas devem ser lembrados como sintomas possíveis da carência de cobalamina.

The pathophysiologic mechanisms, c/inicalfindings and psychiatric syndromes related to B 12 hipovitaminosis are discussed in this artic/e. The psychiatric disorders can be presented either associated to megaloblastic anemia or even alone. Depression, psychosis and demencia have been more Iinked to B 12 deficiency. Besides, folate deficiency has a role in depression disorders duration. Some patients with depression or demencia may present cobalamin deficiency secondary to eating deterioration. Although less commonly presented, mania and other symptoms (violent behavior, delusion, paranoia, alucinations and behavioral changes) should be remembered as possible manifestations of cobalamin deficiency.
