Transient Global Amnesia [PDF]
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of anterograde amnesia (the inability to encode new memories), accompanied by repetitive questioning, sometimes with a retrograde component, lasting up to 24 hours, without compromise of other neurologic functions.

Familial Transient Global Amnesia [PDF]
Following an episode of typical transient global amnesia (TGA), a female patient reported similar clinical attacks in 2 maternal aunts. Prior reports of familial TGA are few, and no previous account of affected relatives more distant than siblings or ...

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a benign memory disorder with etiologies that have been debated for a long time. The prevalence of stressful events before a TGA attack makes it hard to overlook these precipitating factors, given that stress has the ...

Clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics of transient global amnesia: patent foramen ovale as an underlying factor [PDF]
Transient global amnesia is not rare, but its etiology remains unknown. Cerebral ischemia is a suspected cause because high signal intensity is observed on diffusion-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging; however, previous studies have not ...

A Case of “Spotty” Transient Global Amnesia
A case of transient global amnesia occurring after sexual intercourse is presented with a somewhat unusual symptomatology. Instead of an all-encompassing amnesia, as has usually been reported in the literature, the patient’s amnesia was evident in spots.

Chronobiology of transient global amnesia [PDF]
Abstract Introduction The etiology of transient global amnesia (TGA) is still a matter of debate. Based, among others, on the observation of a close temporal relation between certain events and subsequent TGA episodes, recent proposals discuss the relevance of stress-associated processes impacting on hippocampal ...
