Abstract

Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) is a clinical disorder characterized by transient anterograde and retrograde amnesia with ambiguous pathogenesis [1]. It has also been associated with life- threatening medical conditions such as myocardial infarction arrythmias or dissecting aortic aneurysm [2]. The diagnosis of this clinical syndrome is established when the clinical diagnostic criteria are fulfilled.
