A member asked:
Is it possible to have temporary agnosia after a traumatic incident (besides that cause by a stroke)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: possible, with most brain injuries even with a concussion. Closed head injuries especially can cause temporary agnosia with some permanent sequelae as brain cells do not regenerate like most of the rest of the body. Please see a board certified neurologist ASAP for diagnosis and treatment. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
