Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) Cause: Deactivation of the mesial temporal lobes and / or thalamus . External stresses can trigger attack such as: Strenuous exertion, sexual intercourse, immersion in water, and emotional events. Demographics/Epidemiology: More common in men and most often occurs between the ages of 50-80. 3 to 10 cases / 100,000 / year DSM IV Diagnosis/symptoms: Diagnosis criteria for 294.0 Amnestic Disorder The development of memory as manifested by impairment in the ability to learn new information or the inability to recall previously learned information. The memory disturbance causes significant impairment in social or occupational functioning and represents a significant decline from a previous level of functioning. The memory disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of delirium or a dementia. There is evidence from a history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is the direct physiological consequence of a general medical condition (including physical trauma). Specify if Transient: if memory impairment lasts for 1 month or less Nature and extent of symptoms: withdraw/ headache/ dizziness/ nausea/ sleepiness permanent dense memory gap for period of attack dense anterograde amnesia for 4-6 hours.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Transient Global Amnesia Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: transient memory loss Please click here to view the full topic text: Transient Global Amnesia Background: Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been a well-described phenomenon for more than 40 years. Clinically, it manifests with a paroxysmal, transient loss of memory function. Immediate recall ability is preserved, as is remote memory; however, patients experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. In some cases, the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly ask questions concerning transpiring events. On mental status examination, language function is preserved, which indicates a preservation of semantic and syntax memory. Attention is spared, visual-spatial skills are intact, and social skills are retained. Symptoms typically last less than 24 hours. As the syndrome resolves, the amnesia improves, but the patient may be left with a distinct lapse of recollection for events during the attack. Pathophysiology: The precise pathophysiology of TGA is not clear. On positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), blood flow to specific brain areas that involve memory appears to be disrupted transiently during TGA. This includes the thalamus and/or mesial temporal structures (in particular the amygdala and hippocampus).

Transient Global Amnesia Annotated Bibliography Questions Introduction Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterized by an abrupt onset of both anterograde and retrograde amnesia, and the patient resembles in many respects someone who has just suffered a traumatic cerebral concussion. Patients with TGA typically present with confusion as to where they are and how they got there. They are unable to retain new information and repeatedly ask orienting questions such as “Where am I?” Recall of a series of numbers or of a physician’s name may remain intact for up to 30-60 seconds, but is then lost. There is, however, retention of personal identity and there is no impairment of consciousness, motor skills, writing, speech, language, or judgment. This anterograde amnesia lasts from several hours to 24 hours, following which there is permanent amnesia for any events occurring during the attack. Retrograde amnesia for events occurring hours, months, or even years before the attack is typically patchy, but easily demonstrated. These memories are regained progressively as the patient recovers from the episode.

15. Transient Global Amnesia transient global amnesia. Miranda White. The doctors reassured him that it wasnot a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro02/web1/mwhite.html

This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 202 2002 First Paper On Serendip Transient Global Amnesia Miranda White A little while ago, my father and grandfather were driving in our car together. All of a sudden, my grandfather said that he was feeling dizzy and thought the beginnings of a migraine were coming on. My grandfather is extremely healthy and has an amazing memory, so my father was shocked when not long after, when grandfather asked where Ruthy, his recently deceased wife, was. When my father reminded him that she had died of cancer last year, my grandfather broke into tears, as if he was being told for the first time. In addition, he couldn't even remember what he had just eaten for dinner or any other events of the day. My father drove him straight to the emergency room, worried that he had perhaps just suffered a minor stoke. By the time that he got to the hospital, he was already beginning to regain some of the memories that had been lost. The doctors reassured him that it was not a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia.

Although it occurs in people of all ages, it takes place more frequently in the middle-aged and elderly. The main symptom is a striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. Long term memory is preserved. The amnesia lasts from 1 to 8 hours, rarely longer than a day. There is no history of a stroke, head trauma, unconsciousness, or seizures. No neurological abnormalities are noted. Precipitating factors maybe present such as physical or emotional stress. Recurrent attacks occasionally take place but less than 3% of affected patients have more than 3 episodes. Although there are various theories, the exact cause thus far remains unknown. No specific treatment is necessary except for reassurance. Patients with transient global amnesia can become very anxious and even agitated. They repeatedly ask questions because of their confusion. Fortunately, the majority of times, there are no lasting symptoms of transient global amnesia.
