Wernicke's encephalopathy occurs due to thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency which is characterized by occulomotor dysfunction, confusion and ataxia. Although it is most common with alcoholism, can also be seen due to hyperemesis caused by chemotherapy, Crohn's disease, gastrointestinal system surgery, AIDS, bariatric surgery and longterm feeding with parenteral nutrition. In this case, a 51-year-old woman who was treated with longterm total parenteral nutrition due to hyperemesis and had the diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy after admission to the intensive care unit is presented.
韦尼克脑病是由于硫胺素（维生素B1）缺乏引起的，其特征为动眼神经功能障碍、意识模糊和共济失调。虽然它在酒精中毒患者中最为常见，但在化疗引起的剧烈呕吐、克罗恩病、胃肠道手术、艾滋病、减肥手术以及长期肠外营养喂养等情况下也可能出现。本文介绍了一名51岁女性患者，因剧烈呕吐接受长期全肠外营养治疗，入住重症监护病房后被诊断为韦尼克脑病。
