Transient ischemic attacks
Stroke - transient; TIAsTransient ischemic attacks (TIAs), sometimes called "mini-strokes," happen when a blood clot temporarily reduces blood flow to the brain. Symptoms usually last only 10 to 15 minutes and clear up within 24 hours, with no lasting damage. But having a TIA puts you at risk for a stroke.

Transient Ischemic attack (TIA)
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is caused by a temporary state of reduced blood flow in a portion of the brain. This is most frequently caused by tiny blood clots that temporarily occlude a portion of the brain. A primary blood supply to the brain is through two arteries in the neck (the carotid arteries) that branch off within the brain to multiple arteries that supply specific areas of the brain. During a TIA, the temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain results in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function.
