Korsakoff's Syndrome
Korsakoff syndrome (KS) is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by amnesia, deficits in explicit memory, and confabulation. This neurological disorder is caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) in the brain, and it is typically associated with and exacerbated by the prolonged, excessive ingestion of alcohol. Korsakoff syndrome is often accompanied by Wernicke encephalopathy; this combination is called Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome. Korsakoff syndrome is named after Sergei Korsakoff, the Russian neuropsychiatrist who described it during the late 19th century. Signs and symptoms There are seven major symptoms of Korsakoff syndrome, an amnestic- confabulatory syndrome: # anterograde amnesia, memory loss for events after the onset of the syndrome # retrograde amnesia, memory loss extends back for some time before the onset of the syndrome # amnesia of fixation, also known as fixation amnesia (loss of immediate memory, a person being unable to rem ...
