have pointed out haemodynamic changes of the medial temporal lobe in 61.11% of 144 TGA patients examined during the acute phase. A follow-up SPECT showed that the lesions disappeared after 12 months. Conclusions: These observations claim that TGA may be considered a complex epiphenomenon, and the sum of the trigger factors can be responsible for this event. Given the good prognosis and the lack of association with organic abnormalities, we advance the hypothesis that TGA may be related to psychological disturbances causing transient alteration in brain metabolism in memory-relevant structures and, consequently, amnesia.
