Abstract
Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is an acute neurological condition with psychiatric manifestations characterized by the classic triad of confusion, ophthalmoplegia and ataxia. The presence of all features of the classic triad in one patient is uncommon and not present in up to 90% of patients with WE. Early diagnosis and management of WE is important for better outcome and improved quality of life in these patients. This case reports a rare presentation of all the symptoms of the triad of WE in one patient with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome.
