Transient Acute Neurologic Sequelae of Sexual Activity: Headache and Amnesia

Transient headache and amnesia associated with sexual activity are generally benign, self-limited syndromes of presumed vascular origin. The most important differential diagnosis in both instances is subarachnoid hemorrhage, but this may be readily excluded on the basis of clinical and investigational findings. Reassurance, based on clear diagnosis, is the most important treatment. Larner AJ. Transient acute neurologic sequelae of sexual activity: Headache and amnesia.
