intermittent amnesia
Introduction
Introduction Intermittent amnesia means that it is easier to forget something at a certain time, when it is good or bad. Although the pathogenesis is not conclusive, psychological factors are generally considered to be the trigger for the disease. It is generally believed that patients may have inherent defects due to genetic and life trauma. In the face of life stress events, the self can not mature and respond to dissociation. In the treatment, it is usually based on psychotherapy, including finding and properly dealing with stressors, moderate listening, hypnotherapy or drug-assisted talks, and encouraging patients to overcome symptoms (such as memories).
Cause

1. Neurological routine examination: cerebral angiography is a new X-ray examination technique widely used in clinical practice since the 1990s. It is the first choice of an access artery, generally using the right femoral artery and placing a right femoral artery. The arterial sheath is selected by using different catheters through the arterial sheath, and under the guidance of the guide wire, the artery to be displayed is selected, and the iodine-containing contrast agent is injected. The vascular trajectory through which the contrast agent passes is continuously photographed, and the digital subtraction angiography of the cerebral blood vessel is performed by computer-aided imaging.
2. Psychology test: It is easier to forget some things in a certain period of time.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of intermittent amnesia:
1. Local amnesia: The patient loses memory completely within a few hours before and after certain traumatic events.
