Abstract
A 62-year-old woman, after a resection and ileostomy for multiple perforations of the terminal ileum and prolonged postoperative parenteral nutrition, developed thiamine deficiency with clinical and magnetic resonance imaging features of Wernicke's disease. Later on the patient developed central pontine myelinolysis. For this condition, a pathogenetic role of a transient hypophosphatemia was suggested by both laboratory data and course of the disease.Entities:
