Persistent Autobiographical Amnesia: A Case Report by C. Repetto, R. Manenti, V. Sansone, M. Cotelli, D. Perani, V. Garibotto, O. Zanetti, G. Meola, C. Miniussi

“…Brain MRI was normal while H20 brain PET scans demonstrated hypometabolism in the right globus pallidus and putamen after 2 weeks from onset, which was no longer present one year later. The absence of a clear pathomechanism underlying focal amnesia lead us to consider this case as an example of functional retrograde amnesia.…”
