Abstract:
Anterograde amnesia and minimal retrograde amnesia with thalamic and hippocampal lesions in neuro-Behcet's disease is rare. A 50-year-old man presented with forgetfulness and severe memory disturbance after suffering multiple oral and genital aphthous ulcers with erythema nodosum. A neurological examination and a neuropsychological assessment revealed prominent anterograde memory impairment without focal neurological deficits. On brain MRI there were high signal intensity lesions involving right anterior thalamus, left posterior basal ganglia, and left hippocampus. This is a quite selective anterogrde memory deficit in a case of neuro-Behcet's disease caused by parenchymal lesions in the thalamus and hippocampus.

Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
