[Transient topographical amnesia: a description of a series of eight cases].

Introduction: Impaired memory, and more particularly spatial orientation, occurs in pathologies such as dementia, cerebrovascular accidents or traumatic brain injuries. Less frequently it also appears as a transient disorder in healthy people with no apparent brain damage, in which case it is known as transient topographical amnesia (TTA). The aim of this work is to report on a series of eight cases of TTA that were evaluated in a neurology unit.

Vohwinkel Syndrome secondary to missense mutation D66H in GJB2 gene (connexin 26) can include epileptic manifestations.

Vohwinkel Syndrome (VS) is a type of diffuse hereditary palmoplantar keratodermas (DHPPK) accompanied by skeletal dimorphisms and sensorineural deafness. The most frequently reported genetic substrate in VS is a point mutation of GJB2 gene, responsible for encoding connexin 26, a gap-junction protein with a crucial role in neuronal migration in rats. We report the case of a 21-year-old male who is a second-generation member of a family with VS and developed cryptogenic focal epilepsy.
