Abstract
Seventeen patients with cystathionine synthase deficiency homocystinuria were examined clinically and neurophysiologically for evidence of sensory neuropathy. All had received high dose pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) for many years. Absence of neurological disturbance in all cases suggests long term treatment with pyridoxine in the dosages used in homocystinuric patients is not harmful.
