Extract

The differential diagnosis of a presenting symptom is usually to be found as a section of an article on a disorder in which the particular symptom is common. Thus one learns a great deal about the widely different pathological processes responsible for epigastric pain in a description of peptic ulcer, and much about headache in descriptions of cerebral tumour or migraine. Amnesia is peculiar in this respect in that succinct expressions of its differential diagnosis are rarely found in the description of individual disorders.
