A patient is reported who displayed marked confabulation after frontal lobe damage, and whose pattern of performance on memory tests was not typically amnesic. He initially displayed both "fantastic" and "momentary" confabulation, but several months later showed only "momentary" confabulation, which was apparent on direct questioning. This change in type of confabulation was paralleled by improved performance on frontal lobe tests, although his overall pattern of performance on memory tests was unchanged. It is suggested that severity of frontal lobe dysfunction determines the type of confabulation displayed.
据报道,一名患者在额叶受损后出现明显的虚构症,其在记忆测试中的表现模式并非典型的失忆症。他最初表现出“荒诞”和“短暂”的虚构症,但几个月后仅表现出“短暂”的虚构症,这在直接询问时很明显。虚构症类型的这种变化与额叶测试表现的改善同时出现,尽管他在记忆测试中的整体表现模式没有改变。有人认为额叶功能障碍的严重程度决定了所表现出的虚构症类型。
