Abstract
|
|
|
Thiamine deficiency is known to lead to certain neurological sequelae including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Signs attributable to this condition include ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus, and mental confusion. The prompt use of thiamine
prevents
progression of the disease and reverses those lesions that have not yet progressed to the point of fixed structural change. We have experienced a case of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome associated with hyperemesis gravidarum, which seemed to be
developed by
prolonged thiamine-free dextrose therapy, we emphasise the need for thiamine supplementation in hyperemesis gravidarum patient.
