WERNICKE'S ENCEPHALOPATHY PRESENTING WITH SEVERE DYSPHAGIA: A CASE REPORT

Mikael Truedsson,*, Bodil Ohlsson and Klas Sjöberg

Department of Medicine, Lund University, University Hospital, S-20502 Malmö, Sweden

Received 18 July 2001; first review notified 1 November 2001; accepted 29 November 2001

— A 62-year-old man developed dysphagia 4 weeks before the classic symptoms and signs of Wernicke's encephalopathy appeared. Adequate treatment with parenteral thiamine resulted in complete recovery of all symptoms, including his dysphagia. This extraordinary presentation with dysphagia, and the unusual course of the disease, encouraged us to present this case history.
