Alcoholic Korsakoff’s psychosis is a clonic amnestic syndrome caused by alcohol abuse. It is characteristic of hypomnesis, disorientation and confabulation. We experienced a 53 year-old man who had a alcoholic korsakoff’s syndrome, DM and general weakness and whose condition was improved through Oriental medical treatment.
