Abstract
The pathogenesis of transient global amnesia (TGA), a dramatic but self-limiting episode of anterograde amnesia with a variable duration of retrograde amnesia, remains unknown. Although most episodes are single, TGA has a finite recurrence rate. Studies of case series and large patient cohorts have typically been used to investigate possible precipitating and predisposing factors for TGA. Study of recurrent TGA episodes in single cases might provide another way to address pathogenetic factors. A patient with recurrent TGA is presented to illustrate such considerations with respect to possible chronobiological factors in TGA pathogenesis.
