Current hypotheses include migraine, seizure, or transient cerebral arterial ischaemia. However, none of these potential mechanisms explain both the absence of other neurological signs or symptoms during TGA, and its ...

Transient global amnesia is often attributed to a seizure, vascular cause, or migraine, but the outcome is usually benign. The presence of migraine and important risk factors for stroke necessitates close patient monitoring. Anti-platelet therapy should be considered.
