Case Report: Propranolol Therapy for Infantile Tremor Syndrome in a Child With Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vitamin B12 deficiency in childhood presents with a wide variety of symptoms including anemia, failure to thrive and developmental delays. It is a diagnostic consideration in children who are exclusively breastfed or have minimal solid intake, especially if their mother is vegetarian or has underlying vitamin B12 deficiency. Infantile tremor syndrome (ITS) has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. ITS presents with neurological symptoms such as developmental delays and tremors. The tremors seen in ITS can be profound and interfere with daily functioning. Different therapies have been tried for those tremors without much evidence or information regarding their efficacy and dosing regimens. We present the case of a 13-month-old girl with vitamin B12 deficiency who developed ITS with significant tremors after initiation of vitamin B12 therapy. She was treated with propranolol which resulted in significant improvement in her tremors. This case highlights the efficacy and safety of propranolol for the treatment of ITS in the context of vitamin B12 deficiency.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
