Abstract
This chapter considers the prognosis of TGA. Generally this is benign, although some mild deficits of memory function may persist as well as a gap for the period of TGA. There is a finite recurrence rate, around 3–6% per year, and it may possibly be the case that recurrent TGA is not as benign as single-episode TGA.
