Dear Editor, Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a well-known form of transient amnesia. Among cases of transient amnesia, there are rare cases of recurrent episodes of transient amnesia caused by epilepsy, which are distinct from TGA and known as transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) [1, 2]. TEA is considered a subtype of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and is characterized by recurrent, brief episodes of transient memory disturbances [3]. Epilepsy associated with amygdala enlargement is a subtype of TLE that has recently attracted attention. However, the association between TEA and TLE with amygdala enlargement remains unclear. Here we report a case of TEA with unilateral amygdala enlargement.
