This mini-review entertains the concept that transient global amnesia (TGA) could possibly be part of the spectrum of transient epileptic amnesia (TEA), which is considered the most important differential diagnosis by many clinicians. To support this hypothesis we analysed EEG data, where conventional scalp recording was unrevealing, but nasopharyngeal electrodes demonstrated epileptic discharges in the medial temporal lobe, the region implicated in memory dysfunction during transient global amnesia.

Multiple sclerosis is a highly complex disease with various underlying pathologies, highly variable course and often unpredictable change of disease activity. Despite the undisputed positive impact of immuno-modulatory treatment in relapsingremitting multiple sclerosis, a major part of patients will gradually accumulate pathological changes at different sites of the central nervous system (CNS) leading to a broad pattern of symptoms, func tional deficits and disabilities with complex interferences. In addition, patients with primary progressive course (15–20%) are not responding to these immuno- modulatory agents. Symptomatic therapies have been shown to be helpful, reducing or alle - viating certain complaints and functional deficits. The use of these agents, however, is often limited due to side effects. Considering the complexity of multiple sclerosis affecting different personal, social and economic aspects, there is a continuing need for an individualised comprehensive, multidisciplinary long-term management, which constitutes the basic concept of rehabilitation. There is strong evidence that inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation is effective in multiple sclerosis decreasing disability and handicap in spite of disease progression. The value of individualised physical therapy and of an adapted endurance or resistance training is also undoubted, leading to significant improvements in disability, mobility, quality of life and reducing risk of falls. For other treatment modalities, however, the impact is less clear. There are disease-specific aspects (especially thermosensitivity, fatigue), which should be considered in planning and performing rehabilitation measures in multiple sclerosis patients. The benefit may be influenced by disability level and cognitive functions. Recent findings suggest that brain plasticity with compensatory brain activation is progressively lost during the course of disease, which emphasises the need of an early evaluation of multiple sclerosis patients for the necessity of rehabilitation measures.
