Researchers at Strasbourg University Hospital are investigating a possible link between obstructive sleep apnea (a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep) and transient global amnesia (sudden, temporary memory loss episodes that resolve within 24 hours). This study will examine medical records from about 200–250 patients who experienced these memory loss episodes to see if sleep apnea played a role.
A small earlier study hinted at a connection between sleep apnea and these memory loss episodes, but researchers need to confirm this finding in a larger group of patients. Understanding this link could lead to new ways to prevent or treat these frightening memory episodes.

This is a retrospective study, meaning researchers will review your existing medical records from your visit to the hospital — you will not need to take any medication or undergo new procedures. The researchers will examine your medical history to see if you had sleep apnea or sleep-related issues around the time of your memory loss episode. Your participation involves allowing your medical records to be accessed and studied for this research.
