| Wernicke-Korsakoff s. |
the behavioral disorder caused by thiamine deficiency, most commonly due to chronic alcohol abuse and associated with other nutritional polyneuropathies. Wernicke's encephalopathy (confusion, ataxia of gait, nystagmus, and ophthalmoplegia) occurs as an acute attack and is reversible, except for some residual ataxia or nystagmus, by administration of thiamine; Korsakoff's syndrome (severe anterograde and retrograde amnesia) may occur in conjunction with Wernicke's encephalopathy or may become apparent later; only about 20 per cent of patients recover completely from the amnesia.
