Abstract

An episode of transient global memory loss was observed in a 27-year-old woman following a mild head injury in a car accident. Her clinical and neuropsychological profiles were indistinguishable from those of transient global amnesia (TGA). This paper argues that a cause-effect relationship may be postulated between head trauma and transient memory loss, perhaps as the result of a very stressful situation such as a car crash.

摘要

一名27岁女性在一场车祸中头部轻度受伤后，出现了一次短暂性全面性记忆丧失发作。她的临床和神经心理学表现与短暂性全面性遗忘症（TGA）难以区分。本文认为，头部创伤与短暂性记忆丧失之间可能存在因果关系，这或许是由车祸等极具压力的情况导致的。
