   What is transient global amnesia?

   • Transient global amnesia is an episode of confusion that comes on suddenly in a person who is otherwise alert. This confused state isn't caused by a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or stroke. During an episode of transient global amnesia, a person is unable to create new memory, so the memory of recent events disappears.
