Abstract
This mini-review entertains the concept that transient global amnesia (TGA) could possibly be part of the spectrum of transient epileptic amnesia (TEA), which is considered the most important differential diagnosis by many clinicians. To support this hypothesis we analysed EEG data, where conventional scalp recording was unrevealing, but nasopharyngeal electrodes demonstrated epileptic discharges in the medial temporal lobe, the region implicated in memory dysfunction during transient global amnesia.
