Wernicke Encephalopathy after Total Gastrectomy
Received Date: Nov 02, 2023 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2023
Abstract
Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy is a complication of thiamine deficiency. The prognosis depends on the rapidity of thiamine supplementation. If left untreated, the disease may progress to death. The typical MRI presentation is characterized by hypersignals in the dorsomedian nuclei of the thalami, the mammillary bodies, and the tectal plate, in the periaqueductal region and around the third or fourth ventricle.
