2017年6月5日 · We aimed to describe the frequency and characteristics of acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks presenting predominantly with amnesia (ischemic amnesia) and to identify clinical clues for differentiating them from transient global amnesia (TGA).

2021年6月18日 · Memory impairment (amnesia) In stroke medicine, memory impairment generally refers to episodic memory impairment rather than the impairment of semantic or procedural memory. Stroke patients with memory impairment experience loss of recent memory but retain immediate memory.

2024年11月17日 · Yes, amnesia can be caused by a stroke. A stroke affects the way the brain understands, organises, and stores information, which can lead to cognitive problems. These problems can include issues with memory, planning and problem-solving, and confusion.

Stroke is an uncommon cause of amnesia. We describe in detail 3 cases of anterograde amnesia and confabulation secondary to acute ischemic stroke and review the available literature. In our case series, all 3 patients presented with anterograde amnesia and 2 of 3 copresented with prominent confabulation.

2008年6月26日 · Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterized by anterograde memory disturbance of sudden onset that lasts for 1 to 24 hours. 1 Orientation in space and time is impaired while consciousness remains undisturbed.

Acute onset anterograde amnesia and confabulation may uncommonly represent acute ischemic stroke. Delays in this diagnosis typically exclude patients from emergent stroke treatment or timely diagnostic stroke evaluation. Clinicians should maintain a high degree of …

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a rare self-limited syndrome characterized primarily by anterograde amnesia. It shares multiple characteristics with a transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke, which carry a more ominous outlook. There is a debate with respect to what is sufficient for ruling out more serious pathologies.

Amnesic strokes were more often cardioembolic, multiterritorial, and typically involved the posterior circulation and limbic system. Clinical clues were minor focal neurological signs, higher age, more risk factors, and stroke favoring circumstances. Although all patients were independent at 3 months, 31% had persistent memory problems.

Background and purpose: Whether transient global amnesia (TGA) represents an arterial insult that heralds ischemic stroke remains unclear. Therefore, we examined stroke risk after TGA in a population-based cohort.

We aimed to describe the frequency and characteristics of acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks presenting predominantly with amnesia (ischemic amnesia) and to identify clinical clues for differentiating them from transient global amnesia (TGA).
