Transient global amnesia is generally regarded as a benign syndrome of probable vascular etiology. We describe a man who experienced a single episode of transient global amnesia and subsequently developed a progressive dominant hemispheric syndrome. Neuroradiologic investigations and the patient's subsequent death strongly suggest that his disease was due to a left temporal-parietal mass lesion. Although the syndrome is most often benign, such patients should be examined for mass lesions.
短暂性全面性遗忘症通常被视为一种可能由血管病因引起的良性综合征。我们描述了一名经历过单次短暂性全面性遗忘症发作，随后发展为进行性优势半球综合征的男性患者。神经放射学检查以及患者随后的死亡强烈提示，他的疾病是由左侧颞顶叶占位性病变所致。尽管该综合征大多情况下是良性的，但此类患者仍应接受占位性病变检查。
