Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a rare neurologic disease caused by a deficiency in thiamine (B1). It is characterized by features of altered mental status, cerebellar dysfunction, and ophthalmoplegia. Most often, cases are attributed to long-term alcohol use; however, rarer causes have been described in the literature. In this article, we describe a case of WE caused by hyperemesis gravidarum in a 19-year-old female with no known medical history.
韦尼克脑病（WE）是一种由硫胺素（维生素B1）缺乏引起的罕见神经系统疾病。其特征为精神状态改变、小脑功能障碍和眼肌麻痹。大多数情况下，病例归因于长期饮酒；然而，文献中也描述了一些较为罕见的病因。在本文中，我们描述了一例由妊娠剧吐引起的韦尼克脑病病例，患者为一名19岁女性，无已知病史。
