Abstract
In this prospective neuropathologic study, Wernicke's encephalopathy appears to be the most frequent intracranial complication of treated patients with tumours of the lymphoid-hemopoietic systems. The highest incidence of this encephalopathy is found in elderly and in patients with a prolonged survival. The chronic form of Wernicke's encephalopathy is most commonly observed.
