A member asked:
Can doctors tell me what does post traumatic amnesia mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just that! : After usually significant head injury, patient may have a period of amnesia (loss of memory ) the duration is related to the severity . Loss of memory for events before the trauma (retrograde amnesia ) can also occur and is even more important.
