Abstract
I studied 10 patients with transient global amnesia (TGA). On the C-T Brain Scan, 8 patients were normal and 1 patient had an old infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere and 1 patient had right medial thalamic hemorrhage. Electronencephalography was taken in 8 patients who were normal in C-T Brain Scan and the results were normal in all patients. Durations of amnesia were no longer than 6 hours in all patients except 1 patient that had amnesia for 6 days. Associated conditions and diseases with TGA patients were hypertension (in 5 patients), hypertrigliceridemia (in 4 Patients), cardiac arrthmia (in 2 patients), transient ischemic attack (in 1 patient) and diabetes mellitus (in 1 patient).
