Abstract
ONIEVA-GONZALEZ, Francisco Gabriel et al. Wernicke's encephalopathy after cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2011, vol.103, n.11, pp.594-596. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-01082011001100009.
Wernicke's encephalopathy is an acute neurological disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency. We report a case in a young patient who underwent a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy with a bleeding duodenal ulcer refractory to endoscopic and surgical treatment, requiring total parenteral nutrition, without thiamine supplementation.
