Two cases of transient global amnesia (TGA) were reported. The cases were characterized by middle-aged females with occupations, having onset of TGA in their working place while performing their job. They had a history of hypertension and headaches. There were no physical abnormalities or electroencephalographical changes, except for a slight exaggeration of deep tendon reflexes. They had experienced total amnesia lasting for a few hours. During these periods, they repeated the same questions over and over again. Before and after the true amnestic period, they showed some different features. Case 1 had psychological stress and sleepiness for one week prior to the amnestic episode. Case 2 showed episodes of uncontrallable weeping and depression after the amnestic episode was over. Past research on the subject, and theproblems of associative symptoms were discussed.
