ABSTRACT
Hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by severe nausea, vomiting followed by weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and acid-base derangements. Its treatment was composed of adequate fluid therapy, electrolyte replacement and nutrient supply. In severe case, it also leads to a variety of neurological symptoms including confusion, gait disturbance and nystagmus, possibly due to thiamine deficiency and may result in so called Wernicke's disease. We have experienced a case of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with severe hyperemesis gravidarum and this case is presented with a brief review of literature.
