Subacute combined degeneration of the cord which occurred as a result of dietary deficiency of folic acid in a patient with a psychotic illness, is described. A significant improvement in the neurological deficit occurred following treatment with folic acid. It is possible that treatment with folate also contributed to the improvement in the patient's psychiatric illness.
