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]
