Goljan 3rd RR pg 594 says: - Korsakoff psychosis causes both anterograde and retrograde amnesia and there is hemmorage in the mamillary bodies First Aid 2010 pg 441 says the same thing: - classic anterograde amnesia caused by thiamine deficiency. Leads to bilateral destruction of mammillary bodies. May also lead to some retrograde amnesia.
