This extensively revised second edition provides a comprehensive
overview of transient global amnesia (TGA). First, it deals with
the history of TGA before moving on to clinical and diagnostic
features and differential diagnosis. Subsequent chapters then
discuss the investigation and predisposing and precipitating
factors for TGA before attempting to synthesise these many strands
in order to formulate ideas about the pathogenesis of TGA. Each of
the chapters is devoted to a practical and structured overview of
the particular topic, with use of case studies to illustrate the
material. Based in part on the author’s experience of TGA cases
over 20 years and in part on a review of the published literature,
this book will hopefully enlighten clinicians from a broad range of
medical backgrounds on the clinical features, investigation, and
pathogenesis of TGA. Transient Global Amnesia is aimed at any
clinician with an interest in, or who encounters patients with,
acute amnesia: neurologists, general physicians, old age
psychiatrists, geriatricians, clinical neuropsychologists, and
primary care physicians, as well as other professions allied to
medicine with similar interests, such as members of memory
assessment teams.
