The aim of the report was to present a case of Wernicke's encephalopathy induced by hyperemesis gravidarum. The course of the disease, clinical signs, diagnostics, treatment and its results are presented. Also a review of the literature on Wernicke's encephalopathy secondary to hyperemesis gravidarum is introduced.
