What do you call this condition?

There's this girl I know and she bumped her head real hard and she can recall some things but not others. I know it's some sort of amnesia but I'm not an expert, and I cant trust looking it up cos it might be inaccurate. Are there different kinds of amnesia?What do you call this condition?
Sounds like a concussion which can cause some memory problems and should resolve. Amnesia can be antegrade (cannot remember what is going on at the present time), or retrograde (cannot remember past events). Amnesia can be due to a concussion. She should see a doctor to assess the extent of the injury.What do you call this condition?
It sounds like selective amnesia, which can be caused by a concussion. You should tell her to go to the doctor.
