Temporary Memory Steal: Transient Global Amnesia Secondary to Nephrolithiasis
2018
Overview
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is typified by an abrupt and transient anterograde amnesia, \"with repetitive questioning and often variable retrograde amnesia persisting up to 24 hours.\" A 54-year-old male presented to our emergency department with paroxysms of left-sided flank pain, suggestive of renal colic. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen/pelvis revealed a three-millimeter left ureterovesicular-junction calculus. Pain control proved difficult, necessitating multiple doses of opioid and non-opioid analgesia. Subsequently, the patient developed repetitive questioning and perseveration with anterograde amnesia with a negative CT brain and unremarkable further workup. He experienced a complete resolution of symptoms within a 24-hour period, with a discharge diagnosis of TGA secondary to nephrolithiasis. This is the third case of TGA attributed to nephrolithiasis in the medical literature.
