Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) Cause: Deactivation of the mesial temporal lobes and / or thalamus . External stresses can trigger attack such as: Strenuous exertion, sexual intercourse, immersion in water, and emotional events. Demographics/Epidemiology: More common in men and most often occurs between the ages of 50-80. 3 to 10 cases / 100,000 / year DSM IV Diagnosis/symptoms: Diagnosis criteria for 294.0 Amnestic Disorder The development of memory as manifested by impairment in the ability to learn new information or the inability to recall previously learned information. The memory disturbance causes significant impairment in social or occupational functioning and represents a significant decline from a previous level of functioning. The memory disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of delirium or a dementia. There is evidence from a history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is the direct physiological consequence of a general medical condition (including physical trauma). Specify if Transient: if memory impairment lasts for 1 month or less Nature and extent of symptoms: withdraw/ headache/ dizziness/ nausea/ sleepiness permanent dense memory gap for period of attack dense anterograde amnesia for 4-6 hours.

The NYT brings us a personal story of transient global amnesia , a form of amnesia with a sudden onset that typically lasts only 24 hours. "He knew our children's names and ages. He did not know what had happened on 9/11. He did not remember the space shuttle Columbia disaster, which had occurred only the day before. He had forgotten our recent trip to Europe, and he thought we lived in a house we had sold 12 years earlier. A few hours after we returned home that evening, Ralph's memory had, for the most part returned, except for the previous eight hours. That has forever been erased."

I am so confused as to why this happened it has been 8 days now and I still feel confused and I worry that this will happen again. I have read the medical explanations of this but still don't feel convinced that that is all there is to it I would really like to here from others who have had this happen. Thank you.

All of a sudden, my grandfather said that he was feeling dizzy and thought the beginnings of a migraine were coming on. My grandfather is extremely healthy and has an amazing memory, so my father was shocked when not long after, when grandfather asked where Ruthy, his recently deceased wife, was. When my father reminded him that she had died of cancer last year, my grandfather broke into tears, as if he was being told for the first time. In addition, he couldn't even remember what he had just eaten for dinner or any other events of the day. My father drove him straight to the emergency room, worried that he had perhaps just suffered a minor stoke. By the time that he got to the hospital, he was already beginning to regain some of the memories that had been lost. The doctors reassured him that it was not a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia. Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a type of amnesia involving the sudden, temporary disturbance in an otherwise healthy person's memory. The other main kinds of amnesia are called anterograde and retrograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is a type of memory loss associated with a trauma, disease, or emotional events. It is characterized by the inability to remember new information.

14. Lipitor - Thief Of Memory transient global amnesia is the sudden inability to formulate new memory (knownas anterograde amnesia), combined with varying degrees of retrograde memory http://www.spacedoc.net/lipitor_thief_of_memory.html

Lipitor Thief of Memory In his search of the medical and scientific literature for an explanation for his own statin associated transient global amnesia this former astronaut and retired family doctor reveals to his readers the critical importance of cholesterol for proper brain function and memory and the reasons for the damage statin drugs do to our muscles, nerves and heart and even our personalities. From his participation in the San Diego College of Medicine statin study to his review of FDA's Medwatch files of adverse drug reports and his email correspondence with thousands of distraught patients the world over, Dr. Graveline is uniquely qualified to discuss the magnitude of the statin side effect problem, the complex and wide ranging role of cholesterol in our bodies and the range of serious and unintended consequences of the misguided war on this vital substance. More Info on this New Book Introduction My personal introduction to the incredible world of TGA occurred six weeks after Lipitor was started during my annual astronaut physical at Johnson Space Center.

Transient Global Amnesia and Statin Drugs The onset of transient global amnesia is abrupt, without the slightest warning to the pa tient that a central nervous system catastrophe is about to strike. Although consistently aware of their own identities, patients are often perplexed as to their surroundings and the identity of those around them. More Info on this New Book Individuals with transient global amnesia are surprisingly competent in many respects. Anecdotal reporting from observers indicates that routine tasks such as walking or jogging, riding a bicycle or even driving a car appear to be done as usual. Although they can speak in a disarmingly normal manner, victims of TGA cannot communicate for they cannot remember words just spoken. Attempts at communication are often pathetically farcical as their responses to questions are usually totally irrelevant although earnestly delivered in a normal speech manner. Characteristically, these TGA victims repetitively question those present about where they are and what is happening but are unable to remember any explanation. To the consternation and ultimate frustration of doctors, nurses and well-meaning companions, they ask the same question, over and over again, sometimes for hours. In most of these cases disorientation is profound. Language and social skills are preserved and the ability to focus attention appears normal but, alas, despite the victim's desperate and almost pathetic desire to learn what is happening, nothing seems to register.

transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary and isolated disorder of memory. The patient is usually over 50 years old and an attack may last several hours. The patient with TGA: is neurologically intact except for absent memory asks pertinent questions repeatedly is unable to recall the episode once they have recovered Precipitating factors include sexual intercourse and heavy physical exercise, particularly swimming in cold water. There is a correlation between TGA and migraine. There is no excess of cerebrovascular disease in patients with TGA. There is no treatment. Click here for more information...
