Abstract
A patient is reported in whom a classic amnesic syndrome developed as a result of repeated episodes of cerebral ischaemia, accompanied by se izures. The amnesia was very severe for both old and newly acquired me mories and the critical lesions defined by MRI were circumscribed area s confined to CA1 and CA2 fields of both hippocampi.
