Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is directly caused by a thiamin deficiency and is linked to long-term (chronic) alcohol consumption - however, some patients who do not abuse alcohol may also develop this syndrome. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is also known as wet brain, Korsakoff's psychosis, alcoholic encephalopathy, Wernicke's disease, and encephalopathy - alcoholic. Another name for thiamin is vitamin B1.
Sign & Symptoms Of Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome
1. Symptoms of Wernicke encephalopathy include: Confusion and loss of mental activity that can progress to coma and death. Loss of muscle coordination (ataxia) that can cause leg tremor. Vision changes such as abnormal eye movements (back and forth movements called nystagmus), double vision, eyelid drooping.Korsakoff syndrome causes problems learning new information, inability to remember recent events and long-term memory gaps. Memory problems may be strikingly severe while other thinking and social skills are relatively unaffected. For example, individuals may seem able to carry on a coherent conversation, but moments later be unable to recall that the conversation took place or to whom they spoke. Those with Korsakoff syndrome may "confabulate," or make up, information they can't remember. They are not "lying" but may actually believe their invented explanations. Scientists don't yet understand why Korsakoff syndrome may cause confabulation.
