Abstract

We report 3 cases of transient global amnesia (TGA) after the endoscopic examination. All of them were female and had both retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. They didn't have the disturbance of consciousness and had a long-term memories. However, they could not understand their current situation. Their families had difficulties in understanding the situation and had doubts on the doctors. The operators were also perplexed by the outcomes of their operation. Stresses caused by uneasiness and strain to receive endoscopic examination were nominated as the reasons. It seems that it is extremely rare to meet TGA after the endoscopic examination, however, we believe that this is the important complication we should be aknow-ledged.
