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.

EMI - INSERM E218 Universite de Caen, Centre Cyceron, Laboratoire de Neuropsychologie, CHU Cote de Nacre, 14033 Caen Cedex, France. Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterized by a profound but transient deficit of episodic memory. The study of cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism with positron emission tomography (PET) provides relevant pathophysiologic data, but only three patients have been reported so far and in only one was concomitant neuropsychological testing performed. We report here the concomitant neuropsychological and PET assessment of two additional patients. Episodic disturbance was characterized by a storage disturbance for one case and an incapacity to learn episodic associations in the other, illustrating cognitive heterogeneity despite similar neurological presentation. PET findings disclosed mild but significant changes in the amygdala (right or left) and left posterior hippocampus, which could account for both the storage disturbance and the inability to associate episodic components. The PET findings also argued in favor of a vascular disturbance accompanying TGA. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2003 Feb;107(2):155-8.

Ardila; C Moreno Vol 15 (No 2) 1991, 236-245 In Colombia (South America) during recent decades the administration of scopolamine, extracted from plants belonging to the Datura or Brugmansia genus, has become an important neurologic and toxicologic phenomenon. These extracts have been popularly known as "Burundanga." Chemical characteristics and clinical features of scopolamine intoxication are described. Anterograde amnesia and submissive behavior found in patients intoxicated with scopolamine are analyzed.

Definition und Klinik Bei Fehlen von weiteren neurologischen Defiziten klagen einige Betroffene über unspezifische Begleitsymptome wie Übelkeit, Schwindel oder Kopfschmerzen. Migräne- typischer Kopfschmerz oder Aurasymptome werden hingegen von den Betroffenen nicht beschrieben. Etwa die Hälfte der TGAs tritt augenscheinlich spontan auf; in den übrigen Fällen gehen der Symptomatik Situationen voraus (z.B. Joggen, emotionale Belastungen, Zahnarztbesuch, Geschlechtsverkehr), die als Auslöser in Frage kommen. Nach Abklingen der TGA bleibt eine mnestische Lücke von mehreren Stunden nach Beginn der Symptomatik zurück, eine retrograde Amnesie von 0.5-8 Std. kann ebenfalls persistieren. Die Inzidenz der TGA, die bei Männern und Frauen ungefähr gleich häufig auftritt, beträgt 5-10/100.000 Einwohner/Jahr, 75% der Attacken ereignen sich zwischen dem 50- 70.Lebensjahr, nur wenige Fälle treten vor dem 40. Lebensjahr auf. Bis zu 18 % der Betroffenen erleiden mehr als eine TGA (Gandolfo 1996). Die Diagnose der TGA stützt sich auf die neurologische und orientierende neuropsychologische Untersuchung und den Ausschluss in Frage kommender Differentialdiagnosen (s.u.) und kann in aller Regel sowohl im Akutstadium als auch danach anhand der Kriterien von Caplan (1985) sowie Hodges und Warlow (1990a) rein klinisch gestellt werden: Akut beginnende und ausgeprägte Neugedächtnisstörung Dauer mindestens 1 Stunde, Rückbildung innerhalb von 24 Stunden

A popular subject on the big screen and television (especially the daytime variety) is a form of memory loss known as amnesia . Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines amnesia as "a disturbance in the memory of information stored in long-term memory , in contrast to short-term memory , manifested by total or partial inability to recall past experiences." Amnesia is a condition in which someone can't recall stored memories, like their mom's maiden name or what happened last Christmas , but they may recall the knock-knock joke their little brother told them a few seconds ago. This is actually an example of retrograde amnesia Types of Amnesia Anterograde amnesia - Inability to remember ongoing events after the incidence of trauma or the onset of the disease that caused the amnesia Emotional/hysterical amnesia - Memory loss caused by psychological trauma; usually a temporary condition

This is a contribution from a member of THINCS, The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics Home August 19, 2003 Letters to the Editor The New York Times Fax: 212-556-3622 One of the commonest causes of transient global amnesia that was not mentioned, (Memorable, for the Loss of Memory, August 19) are statin medications. As indicated at the recent Weston-Price Foundation conference, transient global amnesia "has reached seemingly epidemic proportions in emergency rooms throughout North America and Europe..All of these cases are associated with the use of the stronger statin drugs such as Lipitor, Mevacor and Zocor. Sometimes only weeks go by after the start of the medication before symptoms begin. In other cases several years might pass before the onset of symptoms". (see www.spacedoc.net Paul J.

Previous Next Disturbed cerebral venous flow can cause amnesia By Tudor Toma Retrograde venous flows in the internal jugular veins during strain are associated with transient global amnesia (TGA), Sander et al report in the 9 December Lancet Lancet 1983-1984). The retrograde flow leads to venous ischaemia and metabolic alterations to bilateral diencephalic or hipocampal structures. Dr Sander and colleagues from the University of Munich examined the blood flow of internal jugular veins in 21 patients with TGA and 21 matched controls. Using duplex ultrasonography they demonstrated that strain that increase the intrathoracic pressure (the Valsalva manoeuvre) generates a retrograde flow component significantly more often in the TGA group than in controls. TGA is a very distinctive attack that begins abruptly with inability to form new memories. Patients are confused and keep asking the same questions. The prognosis is good, but it is a frightening experience for both the patients and their relatives. The findings support the hypothesis that TGA may be attributable to venous congestion after Valsalva-like activities. Other main pathogenic hypotheses are based on seizure discharge and migraine mechanisms but their contribution remains unclear.

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.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterized by temporary anterograde and retrograde amnesia. The etiology of TGA remains unclear although in some cases it could be caused by posterior cerebral artery ischemia. We reported 2 episodes of TGA associated with stroke. In the first case, TGA preceded left occipital lobe infarction. In the second case, CT demonstrated acute bilateral thalamic infarction. In these cases amnesia lasted more than 8 hours. In the first case TGA occurred as a transient ischemic attack 4 days before stroke. In the second case TGA was caused by acute bilateral thalamic infarction.
