    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2022 Mar 23; 15(3):. PubMed ID: 35321913.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) in a woman in her 20s who had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for severe obesity, which resulted in a severe depletion of the patient's thiamine reserve and development of WE syndrome, we also emphasise the importance of prompt diagnosis of this serious complication in addition to the importance of adequate therapy.
