ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A 69 years old male with erectile dysfunction lasting 2 years, took 50 mg of sildenafil for having sex with his wife at about 6 o'clock in the morning. One hour later his wife detected that he had an anterograde memory impairment this was interpreted as a confusional state. The neurological examination suggested a transient global amnesia (TGA). EEG and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging were non-informative and memory deficits resolved within 24 h. Therefore, a TGA was diagnosed. Since no other trigger was detectable, sildenafil was deemed responsible for its occurrence,
RESUMEN
Se reporta el caso de un individuo de sexo masculino de 69 años con disfunción eréctil, que ingiere 50 mg de sildenafil con objetivo de facilitar el mantener relaciones sexuales con su esposa. Una hora después, su esposa nota que su marido presenta una alteración de su memoria anterógrada, lo que fue interpretado como un estado confusional. Evaluado clínicamente su examen neurológico es sugerente de una amnesia transitoria anterógrada. El EEG y las imágenes por resonancia magnética no muestran hallazgos significativos y el déficit de memoria remite dentro de 24 h. en vista de su evolución, se diagnostica una amnesia global transitoria. Como no se identifica otro gatillante, se consideró que el cuadro fue causado por sildenafil..
