ABSTRACT
Wernicke encephalopathy, due to the depletion of thiamine, can be a complication of chronic hemodialysis. We report a 43 years old diabetic male in chronic hemodialysis, who two weeks after an infra-condyleal amputation of his left leg, was admited to the hospital due to an episode of vomiting and abdominal pain lasting 5 days, where confusion and ocular motor signs appeared. Parenteral thiamine administration was started and the confusional state abated. Dialysis can be a predisposing factor for Wernicke encaphalopathy and this diagnosis must be considered in confuse patients
