ICD-11 code : 6D72;
Preferred Label : Amnestic disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Amnestic disorder is characterised by prominent memory impairment relative to expectations
for age and general premorbid level of cognitive functioning, which represents a decline
from the individual's previous level of functioning, in the absence of other significant
cognitive impairment. It is manifested by a deficit in acquiring, learning, and/or
retaining new information, and may include the inability to recall previously learned
information, without disturbance of consciousness, altered mental status, or delirium.
Recent memory is typically more disturbed than remote memory, and the ability to immediately
recall a limited amount of information is usually relatively preserved. The memory
impairment is severe enough to result in significant impairment in personal, family,
social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. It is
presumed to be attributable to an underlying acquired disease of the nervous system,
a trauma, an infection or other disease process affecting the brain, to use of specific
substances or medications, nutritional deficiency or exposure to toxins, or the etiology
may be undetermined. The impairment is not due to current substance intoxication or
withdrawal.;
