INTRODUCTION
Pancreatic exocrine dysfunction in patients with cystic fibrosis can result in deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins, necessitating supplementation of these vitamins. The authors report a case of night blindness and central scotoma secondary to vitamin A malabsorption in a patient with cystic fibrosis and short-gut syndrome who was receiving vitamin supplementation.
