Amnesia Differential Diagnosis
- Catatonic stupor
- Dissociative identity disorder
- Neurocognitive disorders
- Normal and age-related changes in memory
- Postraumatic amnesia due to brain injury
- Postraumatic stress disorder
- Seizure disorders
- Substance-related disorders
- Factitious disorder and malingering[1]
Differentiating Amnesia from other Diseases
- Alzheimers disease in its early stages must be differentiated from normal aging, stress, and depression.[2]
| Cause of Amnesia | Differentiating Feature |
| Lower motor neuron | Myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, cranial nerve VII, IX, X, XII, motor neuron disease |
| Upper motor neuron(UMN) | Stroke, Multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain tumor, brain injury, cerebral palsy |
| Cerebellum | Spinal-Cerebellar Ataxia, multiple sclerosis, alcohol, tumor, paraneoplastic disorder |
| Basal ganglia - Hyperkinetic | Huntington's disease |
| Basal ganglia - Hypokinetic | Parkinsonism |
| Transient Epileptic Amnesia | History of temporal lobe epilepsy[3] |
