Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a serious neurological disorder secondary to thiamine deficiency. Improved recognition by radiologists and allied health providers of the different clinical settings and imaging findings associated with this emergency can optimise the management of this condition and help prevent its severe consequences. The aim of this study is to illustrate the broad clinicoradiological spectrum of non-alcoholic WE, while emphasising atypical MRI findings.
韦尼克脑病（WE）是由于硫胺素缺乏引起的严重的神经功能紊乱。放射科医生和相关医疗服务提供者对与这种急症相关的不同临床情况和影像学发现的认识得到提高，可以优化这种疾病的管理，并有助于预防其严重后果。本研究的目的是展示非酒精性 WE 的广泛临床-放射学谱，同时强调不典型的 MRI 表现。
