| 4 | F10.6 | Amnesic syndrome |
A syndrome associated with chronic prominent impairment of recent and remote memory. Immediate recall is usually preserved and recent memory is characteristically more disturbed than remote memory. Disturbances of time sense and ordering of events are usually evident, as are difficulties in learning new material. Confabulation may be marked but is not invariably present. Other cognitive functions are usually relatively well preserved and amnesic defects are out of proportion to other disturbances.
Amnestic disorder, alcohol- or drug-induced
Korsakov psychosis or syndrome, alcohol- or other psychoactive substance-induced or unspecified
Nonalcoholic Korsakov psychosis or syndrome (F04)
Use additional code, (E51.2†, G32.8*), if desired, when associated with Wernicke’s disease or syndrome.
