Risk calculators and risk factors for Transient global amneisa medical therapy

Management

  • Transient Global Amnesia is a benign and self limited condition.
  • Patients are often discharged with reassurance that the disorder is not a stroke.
  • Explanations are usually well received by the patient and family, although additional neurologic consultation is sometimes sought.
  • An extensive evaluation is generally not required unless the history or examination suggests an alternative diagnosis such as transient ischemic attack, stroke, seizure, or postconcussive amnesia.[1]
  • Brain imaging is often performed to exclude infarction or other structural lesions and to reassure both the patient and the physician.[2]
