TGA (transient global amnesia) Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary and isolated disorder of memory. The patient is usually over 50 years old and an attack may last several hours. The patient with TGA: is neurologically intact except for absent memory asks pertinent questions repeatedly is unable to recall the episode once they have recovered Precipitating factors include sexual intercourse and heavy physical exercise, particularly swimming in cold water. There is a correlation between TGA and migraine. There is no excess of cerebrovascular disease in patients with TGA. There is no treatment. Click here for more information...

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. Causes Temporary vascular insufficiency to hippocampus or its thalamic connections. There are many theories as to how this can happen:

Introduction Annotated Bibliography Questions Transient Global Amnesia Case Presentation A 57 year old woman was rushed to the ED by her son because of a concern that she was having a stroke. The patient had a completely negative past medical history and took no medications. She did not smoke or drink alcohol. She had never had any heart trouble, chest pains, or stroke-like symptoms. She had called her son 2 hours before presentation because she suddenly felt “confused”. The son related that she had said she didn’t know what day it was and couldn’t remember what she was supposed to do that day. She was tearful and distraught about this, and the son hurried over to her house. He found her to appear well but very upset. She denied any other problem, but asked him several times what day it was, why he was there, and whether she was supposed to be going anywhere. On arrival in the ED shortly thereafter, there was no change in the patient’s condition. She denied headache, motor or sensory changes, visual complaints, or dizziness. She denied chest pain, back pain, dizziness, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting. There had been no head trauma, seizure-like activity, or use of alcohol, medication, or other drugs.

Transient Global Amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a prognostically benign condition with an annual incidence of up to 32/100,000 individuals aged 50 and older (1). This condition is disqualifying, and special issuance consideration must be deferred to the FAA for all classes. In this article, a TGA case report of an airline transport pilot is presented along with a discussion of the syndrome and its aeromedical implications. Case Report, by Rod Friend, MD, MPH A 52-year-old male airline pilot Transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia is a syndrome in which the patient does not lose consciousness, only the ability to form new lasting memories. The patient is able to conserve immediate memory and personal identity. Motor function is not affected. Often, however, the individual will be disoriented to place and time. The patient will often recognize that something is wrong and will frequently become distressed at this realization. Case-control studies have shown an association between the following antecedent events or activities with the occurrence of episodes of transient global amnesia: physical exertion, sexual intercourse, emotional stress, physical symptoms such as nausea or headache, temperature extremes, and taking a bath or shower (1,2,3). The average age of patients with TGA is 62 (range 47-80) and the mean duration of the episode is 5.7 hours, with a range of 20 minutes to 20 hours (1). Interestingly, patients whose attack lasts less than one hour have a higher frequency of eventually presenting with epilepsy, although the percentage of TGA patients who later manifest epilepsy is small (2). The attack rarely recurs and is prognostically benign, in contrast to individuals with transient ischemic attacks. The only statistically significant associated medical problem in patients with TGA is a prior history of migraine headaches (2). In fact, some authors suggest that the features of TGA are in keeping with a migrainous pathogenesis (4). In migraine attacks, there is a predilection for posterior circulation vessels, and precipitants frequently cited antecedent to TGA are known to bring on migraine in susceptible individuals. Studies also show no significance of cardiovascular disease among patients with TGA when compared to controls (2,5,6).

I am a nurse and recently had a patient ask me about transient global amnesia. He is 35-years-old and had an episode that lasted one day. Where can I find the most current studies and clinical information? A. Transient global amnesia is an acute syndrome of memory loss, usually affecting middle-aged or older individuals, in which the person cannot recall visual, verbal, or other learned material/events from the past few days, weeks, or years; and in which the person has difficulty learning new material. Personal identity is maintained, and the affected person has a normal level of attention and awareness. Usually, the bout of TGA lasts for several hours, after which memory function returns to normal. The precise cause of TGA is still unclear. Pantoni et al provide a good review (Acta Neurol Scand 2000 Nov;102(5):275-83), and note that there are three main pathogenic hypotheses: cerebral ischemia, seizure discharge, and migraine. They conclude that "none of these appears completely convincing" and advance the hypothesis that TGA may be related to psychological disturbances causing transient alteration in brain metabolism and, consequently, amnesia.
