Can association between transient global amnesia and migraine tell us something about the pathophysiology of transient global amnesia?
The paper deals with the pathophysiological mechanism involved in classic migraine and in transient global amnesia. It is concluded that a primary neuronal mechanism, possibly the spreading depression of Leao, is the most likely explanation of both the syndromes.
