Article Synopsis
- - Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary condition primarily affecting older adults, causing short-term memory loss for new information, lasting 30 seconds to 3 minutes, while other cognitive functions remain intact.
- - Recent data suggests TGA occurs more frequently than previously thought, with about 15 cases per 100,000 people annually, and episodes typically resolve within 24 hours, but 10% may experience future episodes.
- - MRI scans often reveal small lesions in the hippocampus in TGA patients, but the precise causes and mechanisms are still unclear; potential triggers include physical exertion and anxiety, and reassurance for concerned relatives is part of managing TGA.

Intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) reduces mortality, yet impact on functional disability remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine the influence of IVF on functional outcomes.
