We present two cases of transient global amnesia during pruning. Both presented at the emergency department with sudden memory loss. They could not recall recent events. Neurological and physical examination, and blood tests were normal. Case 1 was suspected of having a meningioma. Brain imaging studies should not be dismissed prematurely when evaluating patients with no neurological examination findings because they could reveal latent organic lesions and can help exclude fatal illnesses.
