What is another word for transient global amnesia?
Pronunciation: [tɹˈansi͡ənt ɡlˈə͡ʊbə͡l amnˈiːzi͡ə] (IPA) 
Transience and amnesia are two words that are commonly associated with memory lapses. When these two words are combined, the term "transient global amnesia" (TGA) is used to describe a sudden onset of memory loss that is temporary and affects memory consolidation. There are several synonyms for TGA that can be used to describe the same condition. These include acute transient amnesia, temporary global memory loss, and fog of the mind. Regardless of how it is described, TGA is a relatively rare condition that can be triggered by physical or emotional stress, and is characterized by the inability to form new memories, confusion and a sense of disorientation.
