AB: To assess semantic memory and frontal executive function, two patients
underwent neuropsychological testing during transient global amnesia
(TGA) and after an interval of 6-8 weeks. In spite of a profound
deficit in anterograde verbal and non-verbal memory, semantic memory
was normal, as judged by category fluency measures, picture naming, and
picture-word and picture-picture matching, and reading ability was
normal. Similarly, there were no deficits on a number of tests known to
be sensitive to frontal executive dysfunction. A
hexamethyl-propylene-amine-oxime (HMPAO) single photon emission CT
(SPECT) scan, obtained on one patient 24 hours post-TGA, showed focal
left temporal lobe hypoperfusion which had resolved three months later.
