Abstract

Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is a clinicalmanifestation of thiamine deficiency that developswith ophthalmoplegia, change of consciousness andataxia. The diagnosis of the disease should be madequickly and early because the classical clinical pictureis seen in a small percentage of patients and earlythiamine replacement therapy is important in theprognosis of the disease. Cranial magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) is the gold standard for earlydiagnosis. In this case report, we emphasize theimportance of early radiological diagnosis in a patientwho developed WE after the attack of pancreatitis andcompletely recovered without medical cerebralparenchymal injury.

Özet

Wernicke ensefalopatisi (WE), tiamin eksikliği sonucu gelişen, oftalmopleji, bilinç değişikliği ve ataksi ile kendini gösteren klinik bir tablodur. Klasik klinik tablonun, hastaların küçük bir bölümünde görülmesi ve erken tiamin replasman tedavisinin hastalığın prognozunda önemli olması nedeniyle, hastalığın tanısı hızlı ve erken konulmalıdır. Erken tanıda kranial manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) altın standarttır. Biz bu olgu sunumunda, pankreatit atağından sonra WE gelişen bir hastanın, medikal tedavi ile serebral parankimal hasar gelişmeden tamamen düzelmesinde erken radyolojik tanının önemini vurgulamaktayız.
