Global Retrograde Amnesia

Here is a strange case of a high school girl who fell and hit her head playing soccer in a non-contact situation. After what sounds more like a moderate-to-severe TBI, neuroimaging was negative but she experienced complete retrograde amnesia for all information prior to her injury.

She returned to school and soccer, with headaches and some academic difficulties, but is going on a 4-year college soccer sholarship next year that she earned "before coaches knew about her accident."
