From the Neurobehavior Unit, West Los Angeles VA Medical Center (Brentwood Division) (Dr. Cummings, Dr. Read, Dr. Benson), the Department of Neurology, UCLA School of Medicine (Dr. Cummings, Dr. Benson), the Departments of Neuropathology, West Los Angeles VA Medical Center (Wadsworth Division) and UCLA School of Medicine (Dr. Tomiyasu), and the Department of Geriatric Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine (Dr. Read).
A patient developed an amnesic syndrome after cardiopulmonary arrest. Neuropathologic examination revealed pronounced anoxic injury to both hippocampi with little damage to other hemisphere structures. The clinical and pathologic findings suggest that lesions limited to the hippocampus can cause profound amnesia.
