TEMPORARY AMNESIA FULL
Stay with the person through the full medical evaluation.This test is usually ordered if you've had more than one episode of transient global amnesia or if your doctor suspects that you're having seizures. People with epilepsy often have changes in their brain waves, even when they're not having a seizure. An electroencephalogram (EEG) records the brain's electrical activity via electrodes attached to the scalp. An MRI may not be needed if you had a CT scan at the time of the episode, and the CT didn't show any problems in the brain. The Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine can combine these slices to produce 3D images that may be viewed from many different angles. This technique uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed, cross-sectional images of the brain. computed tomography (CT) scans can reveal abnormalities in brain structure, including narrowed, overstretched or broken blood vessels and past strokes. Using special X-ray equipment, your doctor obtains images from many different angles and joins them together to show cross-sectional images of the brain and skull. Your health care provider might order one or a combination of these tests: The next step is testing to look for abnormalities in the brain's electrical activity and blood flow.
