Abstract

Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by thiamine deficiency. In addition to the classical symptoms (oculomotor disorder, confusion, and ataxia), acute polyneuropathy is reported to accompany the clinical condition occasionally. In this case report, we intended to present and attract attention to this rare and significant clinical table which starts with application for WE clinical condition, and is accompanied by acute axonal polyneuropathy in the follow-up stage.

Özet

Wernicke ensefalopatisi (WE), tiamin eksikliği nedeni ile oluşan nöropsikiyatrik bir sendromdur. Klasik bulgularının yanı sıra (okülomotor bozukluk, konfüzyon ve ataksi) nadiren akut polinöropati tablosunun klinik duruma eşlik ettiği belirtilmektedir. Biz bu yazıda WE kliniği ile başvuran ve takipte akut aksonal polinöropati gelişen bir olguyu sunmak, bu nadir ve önemli klinik tabloya dikkat çekmek istedik.
