Clotting is Not related.: The only way that clotting could be related would be if you had a stroke due to a clotting disorder that led to a fall and the subsequent mastoid fracture. The memory loss may may not be related to mastoid fracture, but i would recommend that you see a neurologist who will likely refer you. To a neuropsychologist to find out if there has been memory loss due to the fracture. The fracture is near the hippocampus which controls much of our memory function. There could've been some damage there from that but your neurologist will have to determine whether or not that is the case.
