ICD-11 code : 6D72;
Preferred Label : Amnestic disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Amnestic disorder is characterized by severe memory impairment relative to the individual's
age and general level of intellectual functioning that is disproportionate to impairment
in other cognitive domains. It is manifest by a severe deficit in acquiring memories
or learning new information or the inability to recall previously learned information,
without disturbance of consciousness or generalized cognitive impairment. Recent memory
is typically more disturbed than remote memory and immediate recall is usually preserved.
The memory impairment is not attributable to substance intoxication or substance withdrawal,
and is presumed to be attributable to an underlying neurological condition, trauma,
infection, tumour or other disease process affecting specific areas of the brain or
to chronic use of specific substances or medications.;
