title: Can association between transient global amnesia and migraine tell us something about the pathophysiology of transient global amnesia?
abstract: 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.
