Welcome to the 13th episode of 5 Minute Medicine! In this episode, we will be exploring Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, which are both conditions that arise through thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. We will discuss a clinical case, causes, pathophysiology, symptoms, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment! All of the highest yield information is covered, with many easy ways to remember the important features of this pathology, including the “Wernicke’s COAT and Korsakoff’s CART” mnemonic! We hope you are enjoying the content so far! Follow us on Spotify to be notified of our releases. We would really appreciate if you rate us 5 stars and give us a review on Apple Podcasts if you have the time too, as this really helps our discoverability.
