Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome following self-induced starvation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
A non-alcoholic patient is reported who as a result of self-induced starvation was found to have nystagmus, gait ataxia and severe deficits in recent and remote memory and new learning, with intact immediate recall, abstraction and judgement capabilities. This pattern of cognitive deficit with nystagmus and ataxia suggests the diagnosis of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
