“…The prognosis of TGA might be different, of course, if the attack was the symptom of a well-established cerebral dis ease, as described in several case reports and clinical stud ies [17][18][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], but this type of patient was excluded from our study.…”

A long-term follow-up study was performed on patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) in order to evaluate the prognosis, the recurrence rate and the occurrence of stroke and dementia. 102 patients (57 women, 45 men; mean age 62.8 ± 9.4 years) were prospectively included and followed up. The follow-up duration ranged between 12 and 241 months with an average value of 82.2 ±51.1 (mean ± SD). The death rate showed no difference from that of sex- and age-matched subjects. TGA recurred in 19 cases (18.63%). Only 4 patients suffered subsequent stroke, and only 3 showed intellectual deterioration. TGA prognosis was shown to be better than that of RIA and lacunar patients.

“…TGA has been associated with a number of other disorders including mi graine, 4, 7 intracerebral tumor, 5,6 diazepam overdose, 7 cardiac arrhythmia, 8 presumed embolism during coro nary angiography, globin, hematocrit, serum electrolytes, and fasting blood sugar have been normal. Abnormalities, if pres ent, tend to occur in angiographic and encephalographic examinations.…”

“…There has been a report of a patient with a pituitary chromophobe adenoma whose presenting complaint was tran¬ sient global amnesia. 6 Recently, a patient who had transient global amnesia three months before develop¬ ment of the Korsakoff syndrome was described. A glioma localized to the posterior limbic system bilaterally was found.7 Our patient had an attack of transient global amnesia, which was later related to an intracranial mass lesion involving the dominant hemisphere.…”

Transient global amnesia is generally regarded as a benign syndrome of probable vascular etiology. We describe a man who experienced a single episode of transient global amnesia and subsequently developed a progressive dominant hemispheric syndrome. Neuroradiologic investigations and the patient's subsequent death strongly suggest that his disease was due to a left temporal-parietal mass lesion. Although the syndrome is most often benign, such patients should be examined for mass lesions.
