CONT

Rare dans les pays développés, [l'encéphalopathie de Gayet-Wernicke] est sous-diagnostiquée, en effet les séries autopsiques ont montré que jusqu'à 80 % des cas n'étaient pas diagnostiqués du vivant du patient, chez les adultes comme chez les enfants. Ce sous-diagnostic est en grande partie lié à des formes cliniques trompeuses chez des patients non reconnus comme étant à risque.
