Abstract
|
|
|
Wernicke¡¯s encephalopathy, characterized by ataxia, nystagmus, confusion, due to thiamine deficiency, can be a lethal disease without appropriate treatment such as thiamine supplement. The thiamine defect could be from poor oral intake because of hyperemesis gravidarum as well as alcoholic disease. Radiologically, Wernicke¡¯s encephalopathy presents the abnormality around the 3rd and the 4th ventricle and periaqueductal area. We now present the case of Wernicke¡¯s encephalopathy associated with hyperemesis gravidarum with the radiologic finding and reviewing other literature.
