Hello,
Do you mean Transient Global Amnesia?
It is a condition where there is sudden loss of memory. The patient remains aware of himself and his surroundings but cannot recall events that happens immediately around him (called short term memory loss). He may look at his watch to check the time but not be able to recall what time it is immediately afterwards. This is because he becomes temporarily unable to process new information.
