Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cases of transient global amnesia (TGA) in which neuropsychological tests were performed during attack are rarely reported. We report a 62-year-old man with TGA who was evaluated with a series of neuropsychological tests during and after attack. During ictus, he showed severe anterograde amnesia for both verbal and visual materials which was accompanied by mild impairment at confrontation naming and counterclockwise rotation of Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure on delayed recall. At follow-up neuropsychological evalauation 4 days after ictus, he showed complete recovery of the cognitive abnormalities including amnesia.
