Charcot's triad

Charcot's triad is seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy, which is seen in alcholics.

Remember an alcholic who goes to the beautiful tourist spot in India GOA; He drinks, drinks, drinks and get Wernick's encephalopathy

So remember, the GOA of Charcot's triad:

Global confusion
Opthalmoplegia
Ataxia
