Transient global amnesia and migraine.
Formal neuropsychological evaluation in patient with transient global amnesia (TGA) associated with migraine was performed 6 days and 17 months after the episode. Verbal learning difficulties and verbal IQ deficit were observed in line with the neuropsychological profile seen in the follow-up of TGA. A common origin for the TGA-Migraine episode and isolated TGA is discussed.
