Abstract
|
|
|
Wernicke's encephalopathy occurred during prolonged intravenous glucose treatment in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum. Delay in diagnosis caused a protracted illness and persisting neurologic deficits in the patient. Because of its
association
with
chronic alcoholism, the possibility of Wernicke's encephalopathy may not be considered early enough, if at all, in other situation. The disease may complicate other neurologic disorders due to nutritional deficiency, but can be prevented by the
timely
administration of parenteral thiamine, We report a patient with hyperemesis gravidarum aggravated by hyperthyroidism that subsequently developed Wernicke's encephalopathy.
