Thalamic hemorrhage with neglect and memory disorder

J Neurol Sci. 1986 Aug;75(1):105-12. doi: 10.1016/0022-510x(86)90053-5.

Abstract

A patient with right thalamic hemorrhage developed left-sided hemi-inattention, indifference, motor neglect, and hypokinesia. He also developed a severe memory deficit at the time of hemorrhage. Observations in this patient suggest that, in addition to a syndrome of neglect and hypokinesia, an amnesic syndrome can arise from unilateral lesions involving the right thalamus.
