[Anatomo-clinical study of a case of topographic confabulation (or delusion)]
Abstract:
The authors report an observation of a fixed monothematic and long-termed topographical confabulation associated to a topographical disorientation, without mental confusion. Different factors leading to such a confabulation are discussed (alteration of topographical memory, anosognosia of the ambulatory defect, age of the patient). The favourable effect of neuroleptics permit to regard the continuity between confabulation and delirium. Anatomical data prove an isolated right parieto-temporal infarct.

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.
Anterograde...
