A Tc-99m SPECT study of regional cerebral blood flow in patients with transient global amnesia
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) is abnormal in patients who have Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). METHODS We obtained noninvasive rCBF measurements using Tc-99m-ethyl cysteinate diamer Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in 7 patients diagnosed with TGA within 4 days of onset of the amnestic episode while the patients were sti...

متن کاملTransient global amnesia or transient epileptic amnesia?
Sir, We read with great interest the letter of McCorry and Crowley concerning an attack of transient global amnesia (TGA) considered secondary to herpes simplex viral encephalitis. Some features of the reported attack are unusual. The patient was a relatively young person: 39 years compared with an average age of 61 with TGA. At the beginning the patient suddenly became ‘distressed’; he realize...
متن کاملTransient global amnesia mimics: Transient epileptic amnesia
We describe the case of a 79-year-old patient referred for suspected transient global amnesia, after an episode of anterograde amnesia which lasted 90 min. An EEG, performed after the episode, showed bilateral temporal electrographic seizures, orienting the diagnosis toward a transient epileptic amnesia. Transient epileptic amnesia is defined by temporal lobe epilepsy characterized by recurrent...
متن کاملChanges in cerebral blood flow and vasoreactivity in response to acetazolamide in patients with transient global amnesia.
OBJECTIVE Previous reports about changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in transient global amnesia disclosed decreased flow in some parts of the brain. However, CBF analyses in most reports were qualitative but not quantitative. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in CBF in transient global amnesia. METHODS The CBF was measured and the vasoreactive response to acetazolamide was ...
