We report the case of a 32-year-old multigestational woman with 18 weeks of
gestation hospitalized for hyperemesis gravidarum. She was admitted with signs
of dehydration, weight loss (8.8%) and suffered fetal loss. There was evidence of
impaired consciousness, horizontal and vertical nystagmus and ataxia. A brain
tomography without contrast showed no alterations. Wernicke's encephalopathy
was diagnosed and thiamine was replaced, with a slow and favorable evolution.
