Memory loss after coma, does it come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the coma was brief you do not get memory loss except during coma or small time before and after coma. If the coma was prolonged and caused permanent damage to brain then memory impairment will likely be permanent and will be called dementia.
