The Neuropsychological Sequelae of Attempted Hanging
JNNP 54:546-548, Medalia,A.A.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Only one report on the neuropsychological sequelae of attempted hanging exists in the English language.Two cases of attempted hanging with subsequent isolated memory deficits are reported.Possible mechanisms for induction of this amnesia are discussed.In these two cases it is most likely that circulatory disturbance produced by the ligatures caused ischaemic hippocampal damage,which in turn led to amnesia.
