bi-hippocampal amnestic syndrome  

Définition(s)

  • The typical example of this amnestic syndrome is the H. M. case, widely described in the neuropsychological literature. Following bilateral resection of the hippocampus and para-hippocampal gyrus to treat epilepsy, H. M. presented a pure amnestic syndrome, with no other cognitive alterations. Anterograde amnesia was massive, with retrograde amnesia appearing to be less severe than in Korsakoff's syndrome. This syndrome can have other causes such as encephalitis, cerebral anoxia, vascular lesions, tumours or brain traumas. In these cases, the amnestic syndrome is not as pure as in the H. M. case.
