Transient global amnesia mimics: Transient epileptic amnesia. [PDF]
Epilepsy Behav Case Rep, 2014 We describe the case of a 79-year-old patient referred for suspected transient global amnesia, after an episode of anterograde amnesia which lasted 90 min. An EEG, performed after the episode, showed bilateral temporal electrographic seizures, orienting the diagnosis toward a transient epileptic amnesia.

The causes and consequences of transient epileptic amnesia. [PDF]
Behav Neurol, 2011 Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a recently recognised syndrome of epilepsy in which the principle manifestation of seizures is recurrent episodes of isolated memory loss. In this article, we describe the clinical and cognitive profile of this emerging syndrome, and present new data that provide at most weak support for its proposed relationship to

Classification of transient epileptic amnesia attacks: Two types of amnestic seizures, the pure amnesia type and partial amnesia type. [PDF]
PCN Rep, 2023 Aim Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a type of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy characterized by recurrent amnesia attacks. In 1998, Zeman et al. proposed the following diagnostic criteria for TEA: (1) recurrent, witnessed episodes of amnesia (TEA ...

On the nose: Olfactory disturbances in patients with transient epileptic amnesia. [PDF]
Epilepsy Behav, 2017 While olfactory hallucinations are relatively rare in epilepsy, a high prevalence (up to 42%) has been reported in one form - Transient Epileptic Amnesia (TEA). TEA is characterized by recurring amnestic seizures and is commonly associated with persistent interictal memory deficits.

Transient epileptic amnesia: An emerging late‐onset epileptic syndrome [PDF]
Epilepsia, 2009 SummaryTransient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a distinct neurologic condition occurring in late‐middle/old age and presenting with amnesic attacks of epileptic nature and interictal memory disturbances. For many years this condition has been associated with the nonepileptic condition of transient global amnesia (TGA) and still today is poorly recognized ...

Impaired picture recognition in transient epileptic amnesia
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2015 Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is an epileptic syndrome characterized by recurrent, brief episodes of amnesia. Transient epileptic amnesia is often associated with the rapid decline in recall of new information over hours to days (accelerated long-term forgetting - 'ALF'). It remains unknown how recognition memory is affected in TEA over time. Here,

The syndrome of transient epileptic amnesia [PDF]
Annals of Neurology, 2007 AbstractObjectiveTransient amnesia can be the principal manifestation of epilepsy. This diagnosis, however, is seldom suspected by clinicians and remains controversial. The amnestic attacks are often associated with persistent memory complaints. This study was designed to provide the first description of transient epileptic amnesia in a substantial ...

Transient global amnesia or transient epileptic amnesia? [PDF]
QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2005 Sir, We read with great interest the letter of McCorry and Crowley1 concerning an attack of transient global amnesia (TGA) considered secondary to herpes simplex viral encephalitis. Some features of the reported attack are unusual. The patient was a relatively young person: 39 years compared with an average age of 61 with TGA.2 At the beginning the ...
