Abstract
Transient global amnesia refers to a sudden and isolated dysfunction o f memory for recent events, lasting a few hours. The pathogenesis of t his neurological disorder is still uncertain. The most accepted hypoth eses concern ischaemic, epileptic and migraine causes. We now report a case of transient global amnesia associated with computed tomography evidence for a hypodense area in the left thalamus 10 days after the t ransient memory dysfunctions.
