Thalamic Ischemia in Transient Global Amnesia:A SPECT Study
Neurol 41:1748-1752, Goldenberg,G.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We performed 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT in a patient during transient global amnesia and twice thereafter.SPECT during the attack showed a significant diminution of regional blood flow in the left thalamus and a less marked diminution in the right thalamus.Quantitative evaluation of global 99mTc- HMPAO uptake indicated a diffuse depression of cerebral blood flow,At follow-up to 40 days after the attack,global uptake and thalamic flow indices normalized,but there was a persistent reduction of left frontal flow values.
