Risk factors predicting recurrence of transient global amnesia

ConclusionWe present a cohort of TGA patients with a considerable recurrent rate (27%), alerting for the possibility of recurrence of this clinical entity. TGA recurrence was associated with the following factors: female sex, depression, shorter episode duration, and hippocampal hyperintensity on brain MRI. History of depression was found to be the most important recurrence predictor in our study.
