Introduction Annotated Bibliography Questions Transient Global Amnesia Case Presentation A 57 year old woman was rushed to the ED by her son because of a concern that she was having a stroke. The patient had a completely negative past medical history and took no medications. She did not smoke or drink alcohol. She had never had any heart trouble, chest pains, or stroke-like symptoms. She had called her son 2 hours before presentation because she suddenly felt “confused”. The son related that she had said she didn’t know what day it was and couldn’t remember what she was supposed to do that day. She was tearful and distraught about this, and the son hurried over to her house. He found her to appear well but very upset. She denied any other problem, but asked him several times what day it was, why he was there, and whether she was supposed to be going anywhere. On arrival in the ED shortly thereafter, there was no change in the patient’s condition. She denied headache, motor or sensory changes, visual complaints, or dizziness. She denied chest pain, back pain, dizziness, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting. There had been no head trauma, seizure-like activity, or use of alcohol, medication, or other drugs.

Transient Global Amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a prognostically benign condition with an annual incidence of up to 32/100,000 individuals aged 50 and older (1). This condition is disqualifying, and special issuance consideration must be deferred to the FAA for all classes. In this article, a TGA case report of an airline transport pilot is presented along with a discussion of the syndrome and its aeromedical implications. Case Report, by Rod Friend, MD, MPH A 52-year-old male airline pilot Transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia is a syndrome in which the patient does not lose consciousness, only the ability to form new lasting memories. The patient is able to conserve immediate memory and personal identity. Motor function is not affected. Often, however, the individual will be disoriented to place and time. The patient will often recognize that something is wrong and will frequently become distressed at this realization. Case-control studies have shown an association between the following antecedent events or activities with the occurrence of episodes of transient global amnesia: physical exertion, sexual intercourse, emotional stress, physical symptoms such as nausea or headache, temperature extremes, and taking a bath or shower (1,2,3). The average age of patients with TGA is 62 (range 47-80) and the mean duration of the episode is 5.7 hours, with a range of 20 minutes to 20 hours (1). Interestingly, patients whose attack lasts less than one hour have a higher frequency of eventually presenting with epilepsy, although the percentage of TGA patients who later manifest epilepsy is small (2). The attack rarely recurs and is prognostically benign, in contrast to individuals with transient ischemic attacks. The only statistically significant associated medical problem in patients with TGA is a prior history of migraine headaches (2). In fact, some authors suggest that the features of TGA are in keeping with a migrainous pathogenesis (4). In migraine attacks, there is a predilection for posterior circulation vessels, and precipitants frequently cited antecedent to TGA are known to bring on migraine in susceptible individuals. Studies also show no significance of cardiovascular disease among patients with TGA when compared to controls (2,5,6).

Letter to the Editor Transient Global Amnesia and Statins Dear Editor I found your recent article [Transient Global Amnesia, by Dr. Rod Friend, FASMB, Vol. 42, No.1, p. 8] very interesting due to the fact that I have had multiple patients with almost identical findings as the patient reported in your article. The fact that all of the patients involved were on statin drugs is most interesting. I have read that cholesterol is a very important molecule in neuro chemistry. Could there be a connection?

Women's Fashion All times in EST Polish Culture: 5:00 PM Crime: 8:00 PM Geriatrics You Are Here: BellaOnline Geriatrics Sally Davies BellaOnline's Geriatrics Editor Transient Global Amnesia Transient Global Amnesia or TGA is a sudden failure of memory, affecting older adults. It's as though the 'record' button in your brain is switched off without warning. The attack lasts for hours, sometimes a whole day. In many cases (up to a third), TGA is preceded by physical or emotional stress, for example hot baths, cold swims, rushing around and personal dramas. Sex has frequently been implicated as well. A person with TGA is disorientated and upset, though physically well. They can think and communicate, but forget what time it is or where they are - responding to something intelligently but after about a minute forgetting. Despite patchy memory loss about the recent past, distant memories remain. The lost memories come back, but events that took place during TGA are never recalled. The first thing people remember is “waking up” hours later. During TGA, the patient knows something is wrong and may be agitated or merely bemused. Patients ask repeatedly about transpiring events – in particular: Where am I? How did I get here? What am I doing? The memory loss makes them difficult to reassure, although some hospitals use cards with messages like “Don't worry, your memory loss is temporary. You will soon be OK”. (Which would help if patients could remember to look at them).

Main February 01, 2005 transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been a well-described phenomenon for more than 40 years. Clinically, it manifests with a paroxysmal, transient loss of memory function. Immediate recall ability is preserved, as is remote memory; however, patients experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. In some cases, the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly ask questions concerning transpiring events. On mental status examination, language function is preserved, which indicates a preservation of semantic and syntax memory. Attention is spared, visual-spatial skills are intact, and social skills are retained. Symptoms typically last less than 24 hours. As the syndrome resolves, the amnesia improves, but the patient may be left with a distinct lapse of recollection for events during the attack.
