: A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a
: transient episode of neurologic dysfunction
: caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) –
: either focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal
: – without acute infarction (tissue death).
: TIAs have the same underlying cause as
: strokes: a disruption of cerebral blood flow
: (CBF), and are often referred to as
: mini-strokes or mega-strokes. Symptoms
: caused by a TIA resolve in 24 hours or less
: . TIAs cause the same symptoms associated
: with stroke, such as contralateral paralysis
: (opposite side of body from affected brain
: hemisphere) or sudden weakness or numbness.
: A TIA may cause sudden dimming or loss of
: vision (amaurosis fugax), aphasia, slurred
: speech (dysarthria) and mental confusion.
: But unlike a stroke, the symptoms of a TIA
: can resolve within a few minutes or within
: 24 hours. Brain injury may still occur in a
: TIA lasting only a few minutes. Having a TIA
: is a risk factor for eventually having a
: stroke or a silent stroke.
