Severe retrograde amnesia after a mild closed head injury

We describe a patient (RP) who developed a severe retrograde amnesia in the absence of anterograde memory deficits after a minor closed head injury. The retrograde amnesia affected RP's autobiographical memory as well as his memory for famous people, well known events and semantics. He showed n...
