摘要：
An 8-month-old, exclusively breastfed girl presented with a five-month history of vomiting with subsequent failure to thrive and lethargy. Family history was notable for the maternal history of gastroschisis. Mother had no dietary restrictions and had successfully breastfed multiple children for >12 months without issue. Initial evaluation was notable for macrocytic anemia. Subsequent serum B-12 levels were undetectable. Upon further questioning, the mother had significant bowel resection as an infant due to complications of gastroschisis. Maternal serum B-12 levels were also undetectable. The infant's symptoms resolved with supplementation.
