Abstract:
A case of alcoholic Korsakoff syndrome is reported in a 47 year-old-man. Neuropsychological examination revealed an important both anterograd and retrograd amnesia but procedural and short-term memory were not affected nor was intellectual capacity. Cerebral IRM was normal. Pet scan demonstrated a previously unsuspected fact: the diminution of glucose metabolism in the two hippocampus and in the mamillary bodies.
