Abstract
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.
Sommario
Una paziente che presentò un episodio di Amnesia Globale Transitoria (AGT) associata ad Emicrania venne sottoposta ad esame neuropsicologico standard 6 giorni e 17 mesi dopo l'episodio acuto. Furono riscontrati deficit nell'apprendimento verbale e nel Q.I. verbale, in accordo con il follow-up neuropsicologico dell'AGT. Viene quindi discussa la possibilità di una origine comune fra la AGT-Emicrania e la AGT Isolata
