The clinical diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy is often challenging, as the classical triad of symptoms\u2013encephalopathy, ophthalmoplegia and ataxia\u2013frequently presents incompletely or may be entirely absent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WE, although commonly associated with alcoholism, is frequently underdiagnosed in the non-alcoholic population and a delayed diagnosis can result in poor clinical outcomes. This study focuses on cases of non-alcoholic WE, aiming to evaluate the clinical and biochemical presentation in these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study was conducted in patients presenting with acute confusional states who demonstrated clinical improvement following thiamine administration. Baseline clinical, biochemical and radiological parameters were recorded for all participants. A standardized questionnaire was administered and informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to inclusion in the study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 18 patients were enrolled in the study. The patients presented with ataxia (100.0%), confusion (100.0%) and acute onset encephalopathy (63.2%). The MRI showed symmetrical hyperintensity in T2 and FLAIR involving mammillary bodies (38.8%), only periaqueductal grey matter (50.0%), thalami (44.4%) and periventricular third ventricle (38.8%). Nearly 33.0% of patients had signal alteration in all regions including the thalamus, hypothalamus and periaqueductal area and atrophy of mammillary bodies. Non-alcoholic WE is potentially reversible and treatment should be promptly initiated in patients, particularly in high-risk populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060251404862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]],"date-time":"2025-12-09T16:40:16Z","timestamp":1765298416000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Non-alcoholic Wernicke's encephalopathy in a thiamine-deficient population: A clinical and diagnostic perspective"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7498-9972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sobia","family":"Nisar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umar","family":"Muzaffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ozaifa","family":"Kareem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahid","family":"Gani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Farooq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irfan","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maleeha","family":"Wani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aarifa","family":"Mehraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arezoo Bashir","family":"Peerzada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13312-020-1795-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.62.1.51"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2022.11.061"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/096089202321088093"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09513590.2016.1254613"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(47)91272-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A0827"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2010.03153.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_1","first-page":"485","article-title":"Myo-inositol: From induction of ovulation to menopausal disorder management","volume":"67","author":"Gullo G","year":"2015","unstructured":"Gullo G, Carlomagno G, Unfer V, et al.
