Abstract
|
|
|
|
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a transitory syndrome of amnesia lasting less than 24 hours while lacking other neurological symptoms. Neuropsychological tests during attack in TGA have been rarely reported. We experienced two patients with TGA who have been evaluated with comprehensive neuropsychological tests during attack. Neuropsychological test showed encoding failure on verbal and visuospatial memory with a relative preservation of personal and conceptual semantic knowledge, and one patient had frontal lobe dysfunction. Free recall was significantly affected.
