Abstract

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by sudden-onset anterograde amnesia, accompanied by repetitive questioning, sometimes with a retrograde component, lasting up to 24 hours, and without compromise of other neurologic functions. Typically, it occurs in individuals aged 50-80 years, with a decreased incidence in younger and older populations. There may be many causes of TGA. Hippocampal ischemia also contributes to the cause of TGA. In this case report, a 67-year-old woman who presented with TGA clinical features accompanied by right hippocampal diffusion-weighted imaging hyperintensity is presented.

Özet

Geçici global amnezi (GGA); tekrarlayan soru sormanın eşlik ettiği, bazen retrograd bileşeni olan, başka nörolojik fonksiyon kaybının olmadığı ve 24 saate kadar sürebilen ani başlangıçlı anterograd amnezi ile karakterize olan bir klinik sendromdur. Genellikle 50-80 yaşları arasında ortaya çıkar ve insidansı bu yaş aralığı dışındaki bireylerde daha düşüktür. GGA’nın birçok nedeni olabilir. Hipokampal iskemi de bir neden olarak GGA’ya katkıda bulunabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, GGA kliniği ile prezente olan ve difüzyon ağırlıklı görüntülemede sağ hipokampal hiperintensite bulunan 67 yaşındaki bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur.
