What is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS)? Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is a type of brain disorder caused by a lack of vitamin B-1, or thiamine. The syndrome is actually two separate conditions that can occur at the same time, Wernickeâs disease (WD) and Korsakoff syndrome. Usually, people get the symptoms of WD first. WD is also known as Wernickeâs encephalopathy. Symptoms of WKS may include confusion, changes to the eyes and vision, or exaggerated storytelling, among others. Alcoholism, or chronic alcohol misuse, is the most common cause of WKS.
