Abstract

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the sudden onset reduction of anterograde memory. Many etiologies were debated, such as migraine, focal ischemia, venous flow abnormalities, and epileptic phenomena. A large proportion of TGA cases are preceded by stressful events, which may be emotional or physical. Here we are reporting a case of TGA in a 60-year-old woman triggered by emotional stress.
