The Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome and Related Neurologic Disorders Due to Alcoholism and Malnutrition (Contemporary Neurology Series)

The major text on Korsakoff's syndrome and Wernicke's encephalopathy. Appearing many years after the first edition in 1971, this revision carries far more clinical experience and allows comment upon nonalcoholic patients in many of whom the disease was iatrogenic. Much is new: thiamine deficiency and the nervous system, Korsakoff amnesic state, and so-called alcoholic cerebral atrophy. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
