Crohn`s Disease (CD) is an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract which can involve any area ranging from the mouth to the anus. Multiple micronutrients and vitamin deficiencies occur commonly. Wernicke`s Encephalopathy is an acute neurological disorder which has a psychiatric spectrum as well. It can occur as sequelae of bariatric surgery or malabsorption. Enough emphasis cannot be placed on consideration and early detection of this disorder as it can become irreversible with permanent neurological sequelae. Here we present a case of Wernicke`s Encephalopathy in a patient of Crohn`s disease with surgical bowel resection due to complication of Crohn`s.
