| Description |
This is a case of a patient who presented with transient global amnesia (TGA) along with an acute occipital lobe infarct. This case supports the theory that TGA is associated with acute ischemia in this territory. transient global amnesia is described as an acute onset of anterograde amnesia that typically resolves within 24 hours. It is often precipitated by strenuous activity, states of high-stress, or coitus. Although the underlying pathogenesis of TGA is controversial, arterial ischemia remains the most widely accepted mechanism. |
