Wernicke's encephalopathy presenting with severe dysphagia: a case report.

Mikael Truedsson1, Bodil Ohlsson, Klas Sjöberg.   

Abstract

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.
