Neuropsychological performance on admission and 6 months after treatment demonstrated a broad range of performance on measures of executive function, lower than expected visuospatial perception, and poor autobiographical memory. We describe the clinical, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and neuropsychological characteristics of three patients fulfilling the proposed criteria for TEA, initially referred to our memory clinic for evaluation and treatment of probable dementia.

The lifetime recurrence rate is 2.9 to 23.8. treatment consists in improving the metabolic disorder with insulin, and no. Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a recently described, typically misdiagnosed at presentation, distinctive syndrome, characterized by recurrent, brief attacks of memory loss in middle-aged or elderly people, accompanied by significant interictal memory difficulties.
