[Memory function following episodes of transitory total amnesia].
The Authors, considering the insufficiency of data in this condition, have studied the memory functions in patients who, in the follow up after an episode of TGA, did not show any clinical sign. A selective loss of a short-term "verbal" memory, without any psychometric alteration, is found out. The meaning of those observations is discussed with regard to the possible further differentiation of TGA syndrome in acute and chronic phases.
