MRI demonstrated T2W/FLAIR hyper intensitiesin medial thalami, peri-aqueductal areas with variable diffusion restriction, apparent ashyper intense signal on DWI and no signal change on ADC mappingthat was typically consistent with Wernicke’s encephalopathy.A high index of suspicion is necessary, as delayed or lack of treatment can lead to high morbidity and mortality
