For how long is memory lost in transient global amnesia?
Although transient global amnesia (TGA) was first described more than 50 years ago1 the disorder still has several unrevealed aspects, particularly related to its pathophysiology. Three main pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed to account for the clinical syndrome of TGA, namely transient ischemic attacks, venous congestion and migraine.2 4 Psychogenic factors, such as emotionally stressful situations and phobic personality traits, are also associated with TGA.5.
