We report a patient with pure anterograde amnesia and memory impairment of contents occurring after the event, accompanying acute aortic dissection type A.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Case Report\u2003A previously healthy 53-year-old Caucasian male was admitted because of sudden chest pain after having lifted a heavy object. Clinical examination and electrocardiogram showed no abnormalities. Since blood tests showed leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated D-dimer level, either pulmonary embolism or aortic dissection was suspected; therefore, computed tomography was suggested. The patient seemed disoriented to time, and neurologic investigation confirmed that the patient was disoriented to time; short time memory was severely impaired and concentration was reduced. An amnestic episode with anterograde amnesia was diagnosed. Computed tomography showed type A aortic dissection. A supracoronary replacement of the ascending aorta was performed. The patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day. Three months postoperatively, the patient is clinically stable; however, amnesia for the interval between pain onset and cardiac surgery persists.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusions\u2003Transient amnesia, usually considered a benign syndrome, may be more common than generally recognized in aortic dissection. The suspicion for aortic dissection or other cardiovascular emergencies is substantiated when amnesia is associated with sudden onset of chest pain, leukocytosis, and elevated D-dimer levels. Computed tomography of the aorta with contrast medium is the imaging method of choice to confirm or exclude the diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-1693029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,5]],"date-time":"2019-07-05T23:39:56Z","timestamp":1562369996000},"page":"263-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Anterograde Amnesia as a Manifestation of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Claudia","family":"St\u00f6llberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Krankenanstalt Rudolfstiftung, Juchgasse, Steingasse, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Koller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Krankenanstalt Rudolfstiftung, Juchgasse, Steingasse, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josef","family":"Finsterer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Krankenanstalt Rudolfstiftung, Juchgasse, Steingasse, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominic","family":"Schauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Krankenanstalt Rudolfstiftung, Juchgasse, Steingasse, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"Ehrlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allgemeines Krankenhaus, W\u00e4hringer G\u00fcrtel, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"07","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"989.e5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2014.12.052","article-title":"A sinister cause of anterograde amnesia: painless aortic dissection","volume":"33","author":"M D April","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Emerg Med"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"554","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)16817-7","article-title":"A puzzling case of transient global amnesia","volume":"364","author":"P Bonnet","year":"2004","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"bcr0720103151","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr.07.2010.3151","article-title":"Unmasking aortic dissection in patients of transient global amnesia: case report and diagnostic algorithm for the emergency department","volume":"2011","author":"M Colotto","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2442","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000148581.00912.1A","article-title":"Aortic dissection presenting with transient global amnesia-like symptoms","volume":"63","author":"C Gaul","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e8","DOI":"10.5830\/CVJA-2015-061","article-title":"A rare case of aortic dissection presenting as pure transient global amnesia","volume":"26","author":"H Kaveeshvar","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cardiovasc J Afr"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1136\/emj.2006.040881","article-title":"Transient global amnesia caused by painless aortic dissection","volume":"24","author":"K Mondon","year":"2007","journal-title":"Emerg Med J"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1979.00500400109029","article-title":"Transient global amnesia with a dissecting aortic aneurysm","volume":"36","author":"G A Rosenberg","year":"1979","journal-title":"Arch Neurol"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"834","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.53.10.834","article-title":"Syndromes of transient amnesia: towards a classification.
