They're two separate things.

Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff Syndrome.

Both similar but definitely different.

No, I'm not. Unless homeboy is a raging alky and has been for years.

They're two separate things.

Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff Syndrome.

Both similar but definitely different.

They used to be viewed as separate, but since they are essentially just different phases of the same process (chronic thiamine deficiency) and can be difficult to distinguish clinically, these days they are often referred to as a single syndrome.
