A 51 yo F develops a global amnesia with a profound loss of ability to remember any new information and retrograde amnesia stretching back about 3 months. The patient remains conscious and is able to drive to an emergency room, although she seems disoriented and keeps repeating the same questions that have just been asked.
After a few hours, her memory completely returns and she is apparently normal, but does not remember the attack. Episodes of this type suggest which of the following?
A. Glioblastoma multiforme
B. Meningioma
C. Stroke
D. Transient ischemic attack
E. Viral meningitis
