Neuro-Ophth & Systyemic Disease ( eg. MS, MG, Thyroid) |
| Description |
Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is increasingly recognized as a complication of bariatric surgery precipitated by non-adherence to vitamin supplementation in the setting of pre-surgical hypovitaminosis, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal dysmotility, and the high cost of vitamins. Anticipation of this phenomenon allows prompt diagnosis and treatment, which can prevent serious neurologic morbidity and even death. |
