Abstract

The case of an 11-year-old girl with typical attacks of transient global amnesia is presented. The attacks occurred repeatedly and the EEG showed spike discharges in the right anterior temporal region. The disorder is assumed to be epileptic. Attacks and spike discharges disappeared immediately after beginning anticonvulsive therapy. Disorder of limbic structures that normally counteract the decay of stored information in memory units is discussed.
