ABSTRACT

It is known as far that memory processes are involved in the medial aspect structures of temporal lobe, in particular at the hippocampus. Encoding, storage and consolidation processes join the so-called declarative memory. Role of hippocampus has been well addressed by a variety of reports of memory impairment after brain injury. The transient global amnesia (TGA) syndrome was described over 50 years ago, consisting in sudden but reversible impairment of declarative memory, in the absence of other cognitive or neurological symptoms. Damage has been documented in some cases either by ischemia or other causes. Present case enhances to disclose the nature of memory damage after hippocampal infarction, selective to declarative memory rather than global memory disorder in TGA.
