Abstract
A pure amnesic syndrome of 21 months' duration occurred in a 36‐year‐old man following a transient confusional state. The patient died of Hodgkin's disease. At postmortem examination, bilateral and symmetrical neuronal loss, without inflammatory changes, was restricted to the hippocampus and amygdaloid bodies.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
