| Description |
Bariatric surgery has become increasingly popular as the prevalence of the obesity epidemic steadily increases. The long term neurologic and ocular complications of bariatric surgery can result in disabling ocular sequelae. Most of these neurologic and ocular sequelae are related to nutritional deficiencies secondary to starvation injury. We report a case of nutritional optic neuropathy and Wernicke's encephalopathy after starvation injury from bariatric surgery resulting in vision loss, ophthalmoplegia and ataxia. |
