(Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group). Definition Amnesia refers to the loss of memory. Memory loss may result from two-sided (bilateral) damage to parts of the brain vital for memory storage, processing, or recall (the limbic system, including the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe). Description Amnesia can be a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases; however, people whose primary symptom is memory loss (amnesiacs), typically remain lucid and retain their sense of self. They may even be aware that they suffer from a memory disorder. People who experience amnesia have been instrumental in helping brain researchers determine how the brain processes memory. Until the early 1970s, researchers viewed memory as a single entity. Memory of new experiences, motor skills, past events, and previous conditioning were grouped together in one system that relied on a specific area of the brain. If all memory were stored in the same way, it would be reasonable to deduce that damage to the specific brain area would cause complete memory loss. However, studies of amnesiacs counter that theory. Such research demonstrates that the brain has multiple systems for processing, storing, and drawing on memory.

Back TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA – A CASE REPORT T.GANESWARAN, M. B. B. S., M. R. C. Psych. (Eng.), D. P. M. Psychiatrist, General Hospital, Jaffna S. Himayakanthan, M. B. B. S. House Physician, General Hospital, Jaffna. Department of Psychiatry, Jaffna General Hospital Abstract: Fisher and Adams first described the syndrome transient global amnesia in 1958. This clinical syndrome occurs in middle-aged or elderly people with dramatic suddenness, to clear spontaneously within a few hours of its onset. The characteristic features are a memory loss for recent events with an inability to register new impressions. The patients retain their personal identity and show no abnormality in behavior, apart from anxiety, and no evidence of impaired perception (Brain 1969). The retrograde (amnesia which occurs shrinks rapidly and the resulting) amnesia is entirely that of attack itself. Though more than a hundred cases have so far been described the patho- physiological mechanisms are still obscure. Focal epileptogenic discharge and transient impairment of the vascular supply to vital memory centres has already been implicated in its causation (Stein 1975).

Newswatch Transient global amnesia is common http://www.jewishworldreview.com DEAR DR. GOTT: My doctor has diagnosed me with transient global amnesia. I have no warning and experience no long-lasting effects; I just suddenly stop talking or whatever I'm doing. The doctor offered no treatment and said that my symptoms can be ignored. Why do I get these attacks? DEAR READER: Transient global amnesia is a relatively common neurological affliction marked by the sudden appearance of forgetful confusion. This typically resolves as the attack subsides; total recovery is the rule. The cause is thought to be a temporary loss of circulation to a part of the brain, either from arterial spasm or a tiny blood clot. Although authorities previously believed that transient global amnesia was entirely benign, many experts are now convinced that the attacks may lead to stroke. Therefore, the recommended treatment is one aspirin a day, which prevents small clots from forming in the vascular system. Sometimes, transient global amnesia mimics minor epileptic seizures. Thus, you should have a brainwave test (EEG) to rule out epilepsy. If the test is normal, aspirin therapy should do the trick.

Weekly Standard Consider memory loss an early warning http://www.jewishworldreview.com DEAR DR. GOTT: Last year, I had a complete loss of memory lasting about five hours. I had driven to the beauty parlor 40 minutes away, had my hair done, then started to cry under the dryer. My son was called and came to drive me home. He said that I acted normal except for asking over and over what day it was and where I was. I don't remember any of this. EEG and CT scans were normal. What happened to me? DEAR READER: There are many causes for amnesia, the sudden loss of memory. From your brief description, I conclude that you suffered a brief neurological event called transient global amnesia. In this condition, thought to be caused by vascular problems in the brain, the patient experiences a one to six hour memory loss for both recent and past events. There are no other neurological defects, such as weakness or difficulty speaking, and patients recover spontaneously, usually with permanent amnesia for the content of the episode.

The name stems from the fact that it's temporary and can affect one's entire memory process. With transient global amnesia, one usually knows one's own identity, but can't recall recent events and information. Usually, long-term memory is preserved. The amnesia may last for as little as 30 minutes to as long as 24 hours or more. Memory of events during the spell is permanently lost.

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Friday, November 6, 1998 Published at 02:00 GMT Health Forgettable sex Bill Clinton: a victim of a Valsalva manoeuvre? Scientists have come up with a cast iron excuse for President Clinton - they have found some people suffer amnesia after sex. Haematologists Dr Chi Van Dang and Dr Lawrence Gardner have found that tensing the abdominal muscles and straining the way some people do when they defecate, deliver a baby or have sexual intercourse can produce six to 12 hours of transient global amnesia - the inability to form new memories. Writing in the medical journal The Lancet, the doctors report the cases of two men, aged 72 and 75, whose wives took them to the hospital half an hour or so after sex when the men became seriously confused. In one case, the patient thought he had suffered a stroke. Instead, according to the doctors "bearing down" - also known in medicine as a Valsalva manoeuvre - had helped to create intense pressure in the brain's blood vessels resulting in temporary lack of blood flow to the central part of the brain. This, in turn, resulted in amnesia. Monica Lewinsky: Perhaps the president really forget Dr Dang said: "Interestingly this form of amnesia results in a complete inability to recall what happened during the period of confusion.

ABSTRACT To evaluate the frequently attributed psychogenic origin of symptoms following "whiplash" injury, 66 patients who had suffered such an injury underwent clinical and psychometric examination. Data were collected on subjective symptoms and their possible psychogenic origin and psychopathology. Personality profile, subjective well- being and cognitive impairment were evaluated. The amount of long- lasting psychopathological alterations was comparatively small. The results do not support the notion of a psychogenic origin for symptoms after "whiplash" injury; personality traits and psychopathology do not explain the nature of the complaints. Author. 21.

Amnesia After Sex? A Medical Possibility f President Clinton had known what a pair of Johns Hopkins doctors recently learned from two patients with a temporary form of amnesia, charges that he lied about sex might be moot. Chi Van Dang, M.D., Ph.D., and Lawrence B. Gardner, M.D., hematologists, found that bearing down hard the way some people do when they move their bowels, deliver a baby or have sexual intercourse can produce six to 12 hours of transient global amnesia—the inability to form new memories. In the October issue of The Lancet, the Hopkins team reports global amnesia in two men, ages 72 and 75, whose wives took them to the hospital half an hour or so after sex when the men became seriously confused although remaining fully conscious. In one case, the patient thought he’d had a stroke. Instead, according to Dang and Gardner, the “bearing down”—also known in medicine as a Valsalva maneuver—along with the typical activation of the sympathetic nervous system during sex, created intense pressure in the brain’s blood vessels, resulting in temporary lack of blood flow to the central part of the brain. This, in turn, resulted in amnesia. “Interestingly,” Dang quipped, “this form of amnesia results in a complete inability to recall what happened during the period of confusion. As with our patients, who could not recall the name of the current U.S. President, a presidential Valsalva maneuver may have legally allowed him not to recall specific events.” The problem is real, if rare, Dang says. “The triggering event was not identified. I sort of uncovered it by just careful history taking—being nosey.”

T ransient global amnesia and stroke L.V. Stachovskaya , V. Skvortsova Moscow, Russia It is an actual clinical problem to study mechanisms of development, outcome and distant prognosis of transient memory disturbances. We conducted a study of 81 patient with episodes of transient global amnaesia (TGA) within age range of 53-78 years with follow up assessment by means of neuropsychological examination, EEG with 3-dimentional localization, cognitive evoked potentials P300, ultrasound dopplerography and MRI for the period of 2-12 years. Transient ischemic attacks in vertebrobasilar system were shown to be the cause of TGA episodes in 87,7% of cases. In 5,4% of cases TGA developed at the onset of ischemic stroke with foci of infarction in brainstem and occipital lobes that lead patients to fatal outcome 1-2 days after onset. Clinical and neurophysiological study allowed to prove the reversibility of cognitive disturbances, to show that the basic parameters of EEG and P300 were preserved and to exclude the epileptic nature of the disorders. The follow up assessment showed that

ROLE OF TRANSCRANIAL DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA Mustafa Bakar, M Uludag Univ. Medical Faculty Dept of Neurology Bursa Turkey Transient ischemia of the inferiomedial part of the temboral lobes or depression caused by the propagating cortical electrical activity are the vascular mechanisms important in the Transient Global Amnesia(TGA) pathogenesis. Transcranial doppler ultrasonography(TCD) is a noninvasive, easily applicable method showing cerebral blood flow rate and vasoreactivity. Of the 14 patients who suddenly became unfamiliar to their surrounding and attended the neurology department with this complaint, 7 underwent TCD during the attack period. This 7 patients (2 female, 5 male) were included in the study. Cranial CT and MRI were performed. And its showed either normal or revealed slight cortical atrophy. The mean age of was 64.5 years. Except for the amnesia and place and time disorientation, neurological examination of all patients were normal. TCD results showed low mean blood flow rate in both of the middle or posterior cerebral arteries and higher pulsatility index(PI) in 5 of the 7 patients. When the TCD was performed after the attack, these pathological findings were not found. Except for the SPECT, other neuroradiological tests do not give objective data to diagnose of TGA.
