Transient global amnesia – hippocampal lesions in magnetic resonance imaging.
Authors
Abstract
Transient global amnesia is a benign syndrome characterized by a sudden onset loss of anterograde amnesia with full recovery. Magnetic resonance of the brain including diffusion-weighted imaging of patients with transient global amnesia revealed the presence of punctate hyperintense signal abnormalities in the hippocampus.
