RDSS (R.D. Silva Syndrome) also known as "Hora Leda" is a very rare instance (But very common in the Resplendent tropical Island of Sri Lanka) in which a person who suffers massive traumatic
Brain Injury only sustains memory loss specific to the traumatic event, with an otherwise normal recovery.
In order to qualify for Duminda Silva Syndrome, the patient must have a
selective memory loss of only the events leading to their
Brain Injury and not any other aspect of their life. They must be able to carry on with their usual life not knowing anything about the incident that caused the
Brain Injury.
The abuse of the Duminda Silva Syndrome in order to conceal material information about the event is still being argued upon.
The term is believed to be more of a Legal creation than a Medical condition
[1] . The eponym originates from the miraculous recovery of
Sri Lankan Politician
Duminda Silva following a tragic injury suffered in the hands of hired thugs
