Most people with transient global amnesia have only one episode in a lifetime, unless the cause is seizures or migraines. About 5 to 25% have repeated episodes. After an episode, the confusion usually clears quickly, and total recovery is the rule, although people may not remember what happened during the episode.
The basal forebrain can be damaged by aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery, which supplies blood to the basal forebrain. Finally, anterograde amnesia can sometimes occur following damage to the diencephalon-a set of structures deep in the brain including the medial thalamic nuclei. Currently, there is no good understanding of why damage to these brain areas should sometimes result in a selective memory deficit such as amnesia. Korsakoff's disease is a syndrome which can damage the diencephalon and cause anterograde amnesia.
