A patient (CL; male; 26 years old) suffered from a pure transient retrograde amnesia for remembering personal and semantic memory contrasted with normal learning ability following a mild head injury. The patient showed a deficit in verbal fluency and naming with a living/non-living dissociation during the amnesic period and recovered 10 days after the incident. CT and MRI data gave no hints for brain damage, though EEG showed irritating components in the left temporal region. The simultaneous presence of naming impairment with living/non-living dissociation and impaired verbal fluency was discussed as a functional inhibition which involves also less ‘psychogenic’ aspects of mind.
