Two Cases of Wernicke's Encephalopathy with Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

Min Young Jung, Yong Cho, Yong Pil Kim

Abstract

We have experienced two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with hypere-mesis gravidarum. Delay in it's diagnosis caused a protracted illness and persisting neurol-ogic deficits. Because of its association with chronic alcoholism, possibility of Wernicke's encephalopathy may not be considered in early stage of disease. The clinical feature, the principle of management and the prevention of Wernicke's encephalopathy are discussed.

Key Words: Wernicke's encephalopathy, Hyperemesis gravidarum
