Abstract

We present a case report of transient global amnesia (TGA) after vaccinating the third dose of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). A 65-year-old Japanese woman presented with TGA after her third vaccination, which spontaneously resolved. This article aims to facilitate the clinicians' understanding that TGA could occur after the COVID-19 vaccination in the COVID-19 global outbreak.

Keywords: comorbid anxiety; covid-19 outbreak; mri images; sars-cov-2 vaccination; transient global amnesia.
