Abstract
An extensive neuropsychological study was made during an attack of transient global amnesia and during four follow-up. The neuropsychological findings are compared to those of previous reports. Transient global amnesia appears to be a relatively benign syndrome but it leaves some “fragility” of memory, detected by complex neuropsychological tasks. Uno studio neuropsicologico è stato compiuto durante un attacco di amnesia globale transitoria e in quattro successivi esami. I risultati ottenuti vengono confrontati con quelli degli altri precedenti studi. I dati suggeriscono che l'amnesia globale transitoria sia una sindrome relativamente benigna ma che comporti una certa “fragilità” nelle funzioni mnesiche, evidenziata da prove neuropsicologiche complesse.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
