Transient epileptic amnesia is an adult onset form of temporal epilepsy which is characterised by recurrent acute seizure-induced amnesia often accompanied by ongoing memory disturbances of autobiographical, topographical amnesia and accelerated long-term forgetting. The first case report of transient epileptic amnesia was described more than a hundred

EPIAMNE: A New Scoring System for Differentiating Transient EPIleptic AMNEsia from Transient Global Amnesia. [PDF]
Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a rare cause of acute amnestic syndromes (AAS), often misdiagnosed as transient global amnesia (TGA). We proposed a scoring system—the EPIlepsy AMNEsia (EPIAMNE) score—using quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis to obtain ...

Clinical differences between transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) and recurrent transient global amnesia (r-TGA). [PDF]
Both transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) and transient global amnesia (TGA) are clinically characterized by temporary amnesic symptoms. TEA involves recurring amnesic episodes, while TGA typically manifests as a singular occurrence.

Forgetfulness in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder masks transient epileptic amnesia: a case report. [PDF]
Background Inattention due to attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can lead to forgetfulness. Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) can cause forgetfulness, similar to ADHD. We report a patient with ADHD who developed TEA.
