Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) - Learn about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis & treatment from the Merck Manuals - Medical Consumer Version.
When a patient presents with transient CNS symptoms during pregnancy, a main concern for the doctor is whether the episode represents a transient ischemic attack, heralding a stroke. Therefore, we evaluated routinely a series of risk factors for CV disease under the assumption that if a high pro...
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and potential treatment options Fisher took advantage of the technology to examine the previously neglected extracranial segment of thecarotid artery. His stated aim was to “furnish important clues to the mechanisms of many heretofore puzzling cerebral symptoms, especially...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: National guidelines advocate for early, aggressive transient ischemic attack (TIA) evaluations and recommend diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for brain imaging. The purpose of this study is to examine clinician compliance, the yield of MRI, and patient-centere...
