It is usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Recently, it emerged as a complication following bariatric surgery. The classical clinical triad occurs in a small group of patients, and early replacement of thiamine is an important prognostic factor. Hence, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to support the diagnosis. In this case, we report MRI and diffusion weighted imaging findings of WE in a patient without history of alcoholism after gastrointestinal surgery.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGastrointestinal surgerymagnetic resonance imagingthiamineWernicke's encephalopathyArticle203848610.4274/tnd.16023N/AWOS:0002175488000052-s2.0-84908156087Q4
