Ventilation and thiamine administration lead to recovery, although Korsakoff's psychosis and ataxia persisted. A review of similar cases of coma emphasizes the absence of diagnostic features, but that if structural disease is excluded the presence of pupillary and ocular signs may support a diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy. The response to thiamine may be diagnostic as in 8 of these patients who received it, but the long-term morbidity remains high.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.61.717.607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T20:58:16Z","timestamp":1230584296000},"page":"607-610","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Reversible coma in Wernicke's encephalopathy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"W R G","family":"Gibb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Whittington Hospital , London, N19 5NF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A N","family":"Gorsuch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Whittington Hospital , London, N19 5NF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"Lees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Whittington Hospital , London, N19 5NF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J S","family":"Yudkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Whittington Hospital , London, N19 5NF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1985,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"41","article-title":"Wernicke's encephalopathy: the clinical features and their probable relationship to vitamin B deficiency","volume":"34","author":"CAMPBELL, A.C.P.; RUSSELL, R.W.","year":"1941","unstructured":"CAMPBELL, A.C.P. & RUSSELL, R.W.
