Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Please ask about the clinical manifestations of Wernicke encephalopathy.Doctor's answer:
Wernicke encephalopathy, clinically primarily manifests as three main symptoms: ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and psychiatric disorders. Patients may experience recurrent eye movement disorders, diplopia, and other manifestations, as well as apathy, or even increased irritability. During movement, they may exhibit unsteady gait and limb coordination issues. Treatment requires rapid supplementation of vitamin B1, active investigation of the underlying cause, and effective treatment targeting the cause.
