초록

Alcoholic Korsakoff's psychosis is a clonic amnestic syndrome caused by alcohol abuse. It is characteristic of hypomnesis, disorientation and confabulation. We experienced a 53 year-old man who had a alcoholic korsakoff's syndrome, DM and general weakness and whose condition was improved through Oriental medical treatment. This case study illustrates what the manifestation of alcoholic korsakoff's syndrome is and how alcoholic korsakoff's syndrome improved.
