Case series reveals memory loss in transient global amnesia patients, indicating neural involvement.
Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss not attributable to common neurological conditions such as epilepsy or stroke. It primarily affects short-term memory lasting for 1–24 hours and is often associated with stressful events or physical exertion. The patient did not exhibit any focal neurological decits. Cognition and alertness remain preserved. Repetitive questioning is typical, even after being answered. It is a selflimiting disorder, and no specic treatment is indicated for a typical episode.
