Abstract
SynopsisA 26-year-old man developed a syndrome following a head injury, characterized by disturbances of memory, language, and beliefs, and lasting for several years. The clinical picture was suggestive of a number of conditions, but diagnostic of none. The aetiology involved a complex interaction of biological and psychological factors, and these are discussed in relation to similar syndromes described in the literature.
