Posterior hippocampal stroke presenting with transient global amnesia.

We describe a patient with presenting symptoms of TGA, but affected by an ischemic hippocampal stroke. The computed tomography angiography helped the etiologic diagnosis showing an hemodynamic stenosis of the posterior P2P segment. Interestingly, neuropsychological features were consistent with those found in patients suffering TGA. PMID: 28004602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
