Although well recognized after malabsorptive weight loss surgery, little is known about the impact of micronutrient deficiency in subjects undergoing restrictive weight loss interventions. We report a case of a 40-year-old super-obese woman (body mass index (BMI): 64 kg/m2) developing Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) following Bioenterics intragastric balloon (BIB) positioning (performed as a preliminary step towards subsequent gastric bypass procedure).

Abstract
Although well recognized after malabsorptive weight loss surgery, little is known about the impact of micronutrient deficiency in subjects undergoing restrictive weight loss interventions. We report a case of a 40-year-old super-obese woman (body mass index (BMI): 64 kg/m2) developing Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) following Bioenterics intragastric balloon (BIB) positioning (performed as a preliminary step towards subsequent gastric bypass procedure).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
