Abstract：Column of Fornix infarction is a special type of cerebral infarction with acute cognitive impairment as the main clinical manifestation, which is rare in clinical practice. Because of its few positive signs of nervous system and special anatomical location, it is easy to misdiagnose and miss diagnosis. This paper reports a case of a young patient with bilateral fornix column infarction who was admitted to People’s Hospital of Rizhao in March 2022. The main reason was “memory declines for two days”. Clinical symptoms were acute anterograde amnesia and language repetition. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral fornix column infarction. The symptoms improved greatly after the treatment of cognitive improvement and routine treatment of cerebral infarction. This paper combined imaging examination and neuropsychological scale to sort out his medical records, in order to improve raise awareness of the disease.
