Disease relevance of Amnesia, Transient Global

Rare sequelae include hematomas, seizures, transient global amnesia, tremor, and dystonia [1].
They had a diagnosis of syncope, transient global amnesia, generalized tonic-clonic seizure and right temporal lobe epilepsy for each [2].

Psychiatry related information on Amnesia, Transient Global

The clinical aspect closely resembled classical transient global amnesia but the episode after clioquinol lasted longer (24 hours to three days) and a more or less extensive retrograde amnesia persisted permanently [3].
It considers the medical conditions of, and the law relating to, epilepsy, alcohol and drug automatism, hypoglycaemic automatisms, transient global amnesia, and hysterical automatisms [4].

High impact information on Amnesia, Transient Global

These episodes of transient global amnesia were evidently secondary to the triazolam or the combination of triazolam and ethyl alcohol [5].
Transient global amnesia after sildenafil (Viagra) use [6].
Successful prophylaxis of recurrent transient global amnesia with metoprolol [7].
Resting and acetazolamide-challenged technetium-99m-ECD SPECT in transient global amnesia [8].
Technetium-99m HM-PAO single photon emission computed tomography imaging in transient global amnesia [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Amnesia, Transient Global

Transient global amnesia after clioquinol: five personal observations from outside Japan [3].
High density lipoprotein cholesterol in transient global amnesia [10].
Transient global amnesia following ingestion of chloroquine [11].
Probable propafenone-induced transient global amnesia [12].
Transient global amnesia induced by lorazepam [13].

Anatomical context of Amnesia, Transient Global

In acute transient global amnesia, CBF and metabolism were decreased bilaterally in the mesiotemporal lobes, where hypometabolism persisted for some time, while higher values were observed in thalamus and some cortical areas [14].

Gene context of Amnesia, Transient Global

Transient global amnesia and epilepsy. Electroencephalographic distinction [15].
Prolactin concentrations in serum unchanged in transient global amnesia [16].
(1) Three patients with no detectable lesion, including two patients studied during the episode of transient global amnesia, showed a well-defined P300 [17].
Transient global amnesia after intake of tadalafil, a PDE-5 inhibitor: a possible association [18]?
To assess whether platelets are activated in transient global amnesia (TGA) and TIA, blood samples were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cytoscan using antibodies specific for platelet fibrinogen receptor (PAC1) and P-selectin (CD62P) [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Amnesia, Transient Global

The authors describe two cases of transient global amnesia occurring after cerebral angiography with iohexol, outline the criteria for the diagnosis and discuss the proposed mechanism of the phenomenon [20].
