Abstract
• Three patients had amnesia and confusion as presenting features of thalamic hemorrhage. They had a relatively benign clinical appearance and lacked characteristics of the syndrome usually associated with thalamic hemorrhage. We reviewed hypotheses regarding a mechanism for the amnesic syndrome and concluded that lesions involving the medial thalamic nucleus were responsible for the amnesia observed.
