Transient global amnesia is a clinical syndrome characterized by sudden onset of short-term memory loss followed by retrograde amnesia in an otherwise healthy subject. During the attack, the patient remains alert and retains much of his personal identity. The patient usually becomes upset and concerned about his memory loss. This condition may be diagnosed incorrectly as hysteria, psychosis, or temporal lobe seizure, despite its unique clinical features.
短暂性全面性遗忘症是一种临床综合征,其特征为在原本健康的个体中突然出现短期记忆丧失,随后出现逆行性遗忘。在发作期间,患者保持警觉,且大部分个人身份认知得以保留。患者通常会因记忆力丧失而感到不安和担忧。尽管其具有独特的临床特征,但这种病症仍可能被误诊为癔症、精神病或颞叶癫痫。
