“…While the etiology of TGA remains unknown, 3 main hypotheses have received par ticular attention. The most popular of these classifies TGA as a cerebrovascular disease similar to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], the second as an epileptic disorder [19][20][21][22], and the third involves migraine as a possible causal factor [23][24][25].…”

Prognosis of Transient Global Amnesia: A Long-Term Follow-Up Study

et al. 1992

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.

“…In a number of cases TGA following cerebral angiography has been reported (Cochran et al, 1082; Pexman and Coates, 1983). In contrast, TGA following coronary angiography is a rare complication, only three cases having been published (Fischer-Williams et al, 1970;Shuttleworth and Wise, 1973). We hereby report an additional patient with TGA after coronary angiogntphy.…”

“…Three cases of transient amnesia after coronary angiography have been reported previously (Fischer-Williams et al, 1970; Shuttleworth and Wise, 1973). The first case of amnesia, probably TGA, was accompanied by cortical blindness.…”

“…Many more patients may have had fleeting neu rologic signs, transient blindness [8,9], transient global amnesia [10] or acute confusional states during the proce dure [6]. The unique features of the medical record link age system in Rochester have been described and vali dated previously, but it is possible that some patients with minor symptoms have not been recorded [11,12], Coronary arteriography is commonly performed via the femoral artery approach using Seldinger technique.…”

Cardiac catheterization is a commonly performed invasive procedure. Previous studies have indicated a risk between 0.03 and 0.1 % of permanent ischemic stroke. We reviewed the medical records of 14 patients with a permanent neurologic deficit after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary arteriography. CT scans were reviewed when available. From 1976 to 1992, 14 patients developed an ischemic stroke following cardiac catheterization (0.04% of 38,552 cardiac catheterizations). Six patients had an acute myocardial infarction. In 11 patients an ischemic stroke was located in the middle cerebral artery territory, 2 patients had brainstem or cerebellar infarcts and in 1 a lacunar stroke was found. Outcome was good in 12 patients. Two patients remained severely disabled. The incidence of cardiac catheterization-associated ischemic stroke is low (0.04%). The high incidence of myocardial infarction and ventriculogram may suggest mechanical dislodging of a fresh intramural thrombus.
