A patient with a well-circumscribed neoplasm, which destroyed the posterior fornix bilaterally, developed a profound disturbance of recent memory. Unlike previously reported patients who had undergone anterior fornix sections and whose memories were not severely disturbed, this patient's posteriorly located lesion may have cut off hippocampal input into the mamillary bodies and the dorsomesial nucleus, thereby producing a severe amnestic state.
一名患有边界清晰的肿瘤的患者，该肿瘤双侧破坏了后穹窿，出现了近期记忆的严重障碍。与之前报道的接受前穹窿切开术且记忆未受到严重干扰的患者不同，该患者位于后方的病变可能切断了海马体向乳头体和背内侧核的输入，从而产生了严重的遗忘状态。
