Hyperemesis-induced Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome due to Hypergastrinemia during Long-term Treatment with Proton Pump Inhibitors. Intern Med. 2020 Jul 14;: Authors: Miyanaga R, Hisahara S, Ohhashi I, Yamamoto D, Matsumura A, Suzuki S, Tanimoto K, Hirakawa M, Kawamata J, Kato J, Shimohama S Abstract We herein report a patient with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) who had neither a history of alcoholism or of history of gastric surgery. A 56-year-old female was transferred to our hospital because of the loss of consciousness and she was diagnosed to have Wernicke encephalopathy. She showed proton pump inhibitor-induced refractory hypergastrinemia with the subsequent development of hyperemesis and a vitamin B1 deficiency. PMID: 32669503 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
