A 3-year-old girl presented with progressive lower extremity motor regression, limb pain, and inability to bear weight, initially suspected to be due to a pinched nerve or hypothyroidism. Despite normal imaging and lab results, her symptoms persisted, leading to a diagnosis of scurvy, a rare condition caused by severe vitamin C deficiency.
