transient ischemic attack  

Definition

  • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are “mini-strokes” in which stroke symptoms such as weakness, numbness, blindness, or confusion occur for a limited amount of time and then resolve. These incidents are significant because they may herald an impending stroke. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Transient Ischemic Attack]
