| Core Tip |
Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is a neurological disorder caused by the deficiency of thiamine (B1 vitamin), most often resulting from alcoholism, malnutrition, hyperemesis gravidarum or bariatric surgery. The diagnosis in a certain clinical setting might be easy, but in a few cases presenting with acute neurological deficits it can be particularly challenging. A 63-year-old male presented to the emergency department with left limbs weakness, dizziness and confusion that lasted 30 minutes. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed and revealed hyperintense signals in several sequences, involving mammillary and hypothalamic regions, and adjacent midbrain and subthalamic nuclei. Therefore, based on the history taking, symptoms of confusion and ataxia, as well as MRI findings, WE was diagnosed. Parenteral thiamine was started as well as diuretics for hepatic cirrhosis. |
