The role of autoimmune thyroiditis in the possible pathogenesis of TGA deserves further investigation. Keywords: Autoimmune thyroiditis, migraine, transient global amnesia, vascular risk factor Key Messages: The putative background of TGA is most likely cerebrovascular. Among comorbidities, autoimmune thyroiditis deserves further investigation with regard to its potential links with TGA. No evidence has been provided for the association between TGA and epilepsy or migraine. Electroencephalography abnormalities were observed in 10 (17.6%) of patients.Ĭonclusion: Our findings suggest a putative cerebrovascular background of transient global amnesia. Doppler ultrasonography of carotid arteries revealed abnormalities in 29 patients (51.8%). One patient (1,8%) suffered from migraine. In 92.9% patients chronic diseases were found, included: Hypertension (60.7%), dyslipidemia (48.2%), autoimmune thyroiditis (17.9%), and ischemic heart disease (14.3%).
35.7% patients had TGA in summer and 26.8% in winter months. The potential triggers or events before episode could be recognized in 22 patients (39.3%). Results: A total of 52 patients (92.9%) underwent their first-ever episode of TGA. Materials and Methods: A total of 56 patients (42 women and 14 men) with TGA hospitalized from 2008 to 2016 in the Department of Neurology, Wrocław Medical University. We analyzed clinical characteristics, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological findings as well as comorbidities and seasonal variation in TGA patients with regard to possible background of the syndrome. Etiology of TGA remains unclear with various hypotheses.
Objectives: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary short-term reversible memory loss.
