The @entity26278 represents @entity16 in veterans of the Persian Gulf war. Until today, the various symptoms observed could not be attributed to any defined disease. As a possible cause, exposure to @entity2359 agents such as the @entity2958 used during the war has been suggested by many authors. We report on a 29-year-old @entity1 who suffered from dysmnesia, disturbance of orientation, @entity73 , and @entity892 . His history revealed several front-line operations in 1990 and 1991 during the Gulf War. Physical examinations showed a @entity1319 and a @entity346 , which was neuro-ophthalmologically confirmed. The early auditory potentials referred to a @entity409 and the cognitive disturbances correlated to changes in the late-appearing component of event-related potentials (P 300). Brain imaging with @entity6852 , MRI, SPECT, PET, and EEG and CSF showed no pathologies. Neuropsychological tests disclosed severe @entity73 especially concerning memory. Three-month follow-up studies in a department of psychosomatic medicine excluded a @entity4785 as a feature of a post-traumatic stress or a @entity13299 . This is the first case of @entity26278 in Germany. We focus on an unfamiliar complication after the war. The recent literature is reviewed.
