Abstract
- Transient global amnesia (TGA) and transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) are inherently challenging to diagnose and share many similarities, which can easily lead to confusion. In this report, we present a case of a 57-year-old female patient experienced recurrent transient amnesia with incidentally found chronic ischemic temporo-parietal lesion including hippocampus and also revealed frequent interictal epileptiform discharges in acute period which can be features of TEA. We aim to explore the differences between TEA and TGA through this confusing case and when further evaluation may be necessary.
