Abstract in brief

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a serious brain disorder caused by a deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine), often linked to alcoholism but also occurring in nonalcoholic conditions, with symptoms including mental confusion, coordination problems, and eye movement issues, although these are not always present together.
The diagnosis of WE can be challenging because the classic symptoms appear in only about 16-33% of cases, and imaging findings may differ between alcohol-related and nonalcoholic cases, making early recognition and treatment crucial to prevent severe complications like Korsakoff psychosis or death.
Understanding the pathophysiology, symptoms, causes, and imaging characteristics of WE is essential for clinicians and radiologists to accurately identify and promptly treat this potentially life-threatening condition.]
