Vitamin C deficiency or scurvy is an uncommon condition that occurs in poorly developed countries or in refugee camps. Nonetheless, in countries where food is readily available, like Malaysia, occasionally there are cases of vitamin C deficiency reported. Although it was primarily reported in children with special needs or learning disability, scurvy is encountered in children with normal development, among the severe picky eaters. We present here case of a nine-year-old picky-eating boy with scurvy. The development of scurvy in this child took several years, especially after he became a very selective eater at the age of five. The child had displayed limping when walking with knee-joint pain before he came to a primary hospital. However, his condition was not diagnosed promptly and progressively worsened until he was unable to walk. Thus, it is crucial to recognize scurvy in children who limps and are severe picky eaters.
