Transient epileptic amnesia: temporal progression of partially treated disease—a case report

Transient epileptic amnesia is difficult to diagnose on the first presentation, as it mimics several conditions where there is nonspecific memory loss, and there are often no involuntary movements. However, recurrent and brief amnestic episodes should lead to suspect transient epileptic amnesia over other causes. Transient epileptic amnesia requires a positive diagnosis, as it is treatable if diagnosed. A contraindication to driving and consequences of untreated disease could cause serious consequences, posing a risk to life. This case shows the temporal progression of the disease in a patient with partially treated transient epileptic amnesia.
