Article Synopsis
- Acute amnestic syndrome is a rare neurological condition often confused with other disorders like Wernicke-Korsakoff and transient global amnesia, with structural lesions in the fornix being a less common cause.
- A systematic review of the literature identified 55 cases, mostly due to vascular causes, with 74% linked specifically to acute ischemic strokes, leading to mainly anterograde amnesia.
- Diagnosis is difficult due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions, and many patients continue to experience memory deficits even after initial treatment.
