recent forgetting

Introduction

Introduction It is impossible to recall the recurrence of something that has recently happened. Also known as retrograde amnesia. Normal rules are easier to remember, and distant events are hard to remember. Memory forgetting caused by brain organic diseases is often a mere obscenity than a distant obedience, called the law of memory regression. When the human brain suffers from trauma or organic disease, it may cause amnesia. Brain damage can lead to loss of memory in the human brain, including brain trauma, epilepsy, brain tumors, cerebral vascular stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. The effect of brain trauma on memory is well known. After the patient's consciousness is restored, it is often impossible to recall the situation before and after the injury. These brain organic diseases or brain trauma can cause damage to the brain's memory. This will destroy the process of memory formation, and the new memory will not be consolidated. What has just happened will be immediately forgotten.

After waking up, you can't recall the situation at the time of the injury and even before the injury. Retrograde amnesia tests on patients include: famous person tests, famous events, general knowledge tests, and autobiographical tests.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Need to be identified with the following symptoms:

Forgotten forgetting: antegrade forgetting is mainly because the brain is difficult to form or can not form new memories for what happens in the future, but remembers what happened in the past, including childhood memories.

Transient comprehensive forgetting: Transient generalized amnesia (TGA) is a syndrome. Called the insanity with forgetting. In 1958, Fisher and Adam were officially named TGA. It is characterized by transient retrograde forgetting and is often relieved within 24 hours.
