[Neurophysiological characteristics of transitory global amnesia syndrome].
Twenty seven patients with transitory global amnesia (TGA) in acute and remote (after 7 and more days) stages and 31 dyscircular encephalopathy patients with subjective memory disturbances (control group) have been examined. According to electroencephalographical (EEG) data and wave P300 cognitive evoked potential evaluation, the differences in the beta 1-activity between these groups have been found. beta 1-Activity expression on EEG correlated in different ways with latent P300 periods, increasing together with latent period (r = 0.43) in control group and decreasing in TGA (r = -0.23). The most distinct, changes were expressed in central cerebral regions. The authors hold that the relationship between changes of EEG and cognitive evoked potential in acute and remote TGA stages, as well as in control group, indicate functional character of TGA syndrome, being unrelated to cerebral structure damage.
