Wernicke’s encephalopathy due to total parenteral nutrition after jejunotomy: a case report
Patients undergoing TPN following gastrointestinal surgery should be promptly supplemented with thiamine and cautioned against receiving high-glycemic infusions prior to thiamine administration. Furthermore, regular monitoring of serum magnesium levels is advisable when thiamine supplementation is initiated. Timely provision of adequate thiamine supplementation may mitigate risk and enhance prognosis.
