Nine subjects with aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) and 17 subjects with other intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) were evaluated for confabulatory responses under two naturally occurring conditions: (1) when subjects were not oriented to person, place, month and year, (2) when subjects were fully oriented. Confabulation was observed in all 9 of ACoA patients both during disoriented and oriented periods. In contrast, 7/17 of the other ICH patients showed signs of confabulation while disoriented, whereas only one continued to display confabulatory tendencies while fully oriented. Confabulation was more severe in the ACoA group. These data suggest that the confabulation observed in the other ICH group may be secondary to an acute confusional state while the prolonged confabulation in ACoA patients may be a manifestation of a more primary cerebral disorder.
对9名患有前交通动脉（ACoA）动脉瘤的受试者和17名患有其他颅内出血（ICH）的受试者在两种自然发生的情况下进行了虚构反应评估：（1）受试者对人物、地点、月份和年份无定向时；（2）受试者完全定向时。在所有9名ACoA患者的无定向期和定向期均观察到虚构。相比之下，17名其他ICH患者中有7名在无定向时表现出虚构迹象，而只有1名在完全定向时继续表现出虚构倾向。ACoA组的虚构更为严重。这些数据表明，在其他ICH组中观察到的虚构可能继发于急性意识模糊状态，而ACoA患者长期存在的虚构可能是更原发性脑部疾病的一种表现。
