Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1), often linked to chronic alcoholism. It consists of two main components: Wernicke's encephalopathy, which causes confusion, eye movement issues, and lack of muscle coordination, and Korsakoff's syndrome, characterized by memory problems and confabulation, where individuals create false memories. This syndrome can lead to severe cognitive impairments if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment with thiamine supplementation can help improve symptoms and prevent further brain damage. However, some individuals may experience lasting effects even with intervention.
