TEA is characterized by brief, recurrent attacks of amnesia in late middle to old-aged subjects, averaging 60 years of age [1,2]. In nearly half the cases, patients complain of long term accelerated forgetting and autobiographical memory impairment in 70% [2]. Bartsch and Butler proposed diagnostic cri...

A case of transient global amnesia was studied in detail. Of note was a temporally extensive, although quite patchy, retrograde amnesia during the event for information recallable at other times. While a consolidation block can explain the anterograde amnesia in transient global amnesia, the profound retrograde amnesia requires an additional block in the retrieval of old, established memories.
