Postgrad Med. 1990 Aug;88(2):217-9. doi: 10.1080/00325481.1990.11704711.

Abstract

Transient global amnesia is often attributed to a seizure, vascular cause, or migraine, but the outcome is usually benign. The presence of migraine and important risk factors for stroke necessitates close patient monitoring. Anti-platelet therapy should be considered.
