A temporary, strokelike event that lasts for only a short time and is caused by a temporarily blocked blood vessel.
A sudden onset of temporary symptoms (loss of sensation, movement, speech, mental function or vision) lasting minutes, or hours, that occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen-rich blood but, the effects wear off completely after resumption of blood-flow. It can be a warning sign for stroke. May be caused by carotid artery narrowing or blockage.
These are often referred to as mini strokes. A TIA occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is briefly interrupted.
A temporary loss of consciousness due to the occlusion of a small blood vessel in the brain.
a temporary block in the supply of blood to the brain, resulting in temporary loss of sensation, movement, vision, or speech; often called mini-strokes and can be precursors to a real stroke
Brief episodes of cerebra dysfunction, caused by temporary impairment of blood flow to the brain.
Temporary symptoms of stroke. A patient who has a TIA may be at higher risk for stroke.
brief episode in which the brain gets insufficient blood supply; symptoms depend on the site of the blockage
a brief episode during which parts of the brain do not receive enough blood
a brief interruption of the blood flow to the brain
a brief interruption of the blood supply to a part of the brain
a "mini-stroke" caused by temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain, resulting in a
a temporary interruption of blood flow
a temporary (transient) loss of blood flow (ischemia) to some region of the brain
called TIA, this is a temporary interruption of the blood supply to an area of the brain, typically caused by carotid stenosis. During a TIA, a person experiences a sudden onset of stroke symptoms. By definition, a TIA can last up to 24 hours, but most last only a few minutes and cause no permanent damage or disability. Sometimes called “mini-strokes,†TIAs must be taken seriously because they are usually a precursor to full strokes. Of persons who experience TIAs, up to 20% have a stroke within one year. Universal design: Universal design includes products or designs developed with built-in flexibility enabling use by all people, regardless of age and ability at no additional cost (Mace, Hardie, & Place, 1996). Under the AT Act of 1998, "universal design" means a concept or philosophy for designing and delivering products and services that are usable by people with the widest possible range of functional capabilities. Examples of universal design are curb cuts and captioning of television and movies.
Often called a “mini strokeâ€, but transient (short term) in nature–symptoms last less than 48 hours.
TIA Symptoms caused by temporary lack of circulation to part of the brain.
The rapid onset of a neurological deficit that clears spontaneously in minutes or a few hours.
A small stroke, a temporary disturbance in the blood supply to the brain resulting in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function that lasts only a few minutes or hours (less than 24hours, usually less than 1 hour).
A neurological event with the signs and symptoms of a stroke, but which go away within a short period of time. Also known as a mini-stroke, a TIA is due to a temporary lack of adequate blood and oxygen (ischemia) to the brain. This is often caused by the narrowing (or, less often, ulceration) of the carotid arteries (the major arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain). TIAs typically last from 2 to 30 minutes and can produce problems with vision, dizziness, weakness or trouble speaking. If not treated, a TIA carries a high risk of having a major stroke in the near future; people who have a TIA have a 25% risk of stroke or other serious complication within 90 days.
Reversible neurological or retinal deficits secondary to a decrease in blood flow. Symptoms last for less than 24 hours, usually less than half an hour. There is complete recovery of function within 24 hours.
A temporary disorder brought on by short-term lack of circulation of blood to the brain. The symptoms usually disappear completely within 24 hours.
A decrease of blood flow to part of the brain, resulting in signs and symptoms of a stroke which last less than 24 hours. TIA's should not be ignored, they are often considered to be the first warning sign of a stroke.
a stroke-like event that lasts for a short period of time and is caused by a blocked blood vessel.
reversible interruption of blood flow to the brain. Often seen as a precursor to major stroke.
Momentary dizziness, loss of consciousness or forgetfulness caused by a short-lived lack of oxygen (blood) to the brain; usually due to a partial blockage of an artery, it is a warning sign for a stroke.
A stroke-like event that lasts only a short time and is caused by a temporarily blocked blood vessel.
neurological symptoms that result from transient interruption of blood flow to the brain
a mini-stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel that lasts for a short period of time.
A transient stroke where the symptoms last for less than 24 hours, usually caused by a piece of atherosclerotic plaque breaking off and plugging a small artery in the brain. It subsequently dissolves, and blood flow is restored.U
An acute episode of temporary and focal loss of cerebral function of vascular (occlusive) origin.
Kind of like a mini stroke, but transient in nature.
A short-lived stroke that lasts from a few minutes up to 24 hours; often called a mini-stroke.
Also called mini-stroke, which result from a disruption in blood flow to the brain. TIAs are usually of short duration but may be a warning sign of an impending stroke.
A "mini-stroke" whose symptoms resemble ischemic stroke but disappear within 24 hours; often a warning sign of ischemic stroke.
"Mini-stroke" caused by temporary interruption of blood supply to the brain.
A temporary blockage of blood to the brain that indicates that a more severe episode or stroke may occur in the future.
(TIA)—A temporary reduction of blood flow to the brain. Depending on which portion of the brain is deprived of blood, a TIA may result in: 1) vision problems (either a loss of vision or double vision), 2) speech problems (difficulty with speaking or slurring of words), or 3) sensation problems (an arm or a leg may feel clumsy). None of these symptoms lasts for more than a day. Because a third of those who suffer TIA will have a stroke within five years, physicians see TIA as a warning.
Temporary interference with blood supply to the brain.
Stroke-like event of short duration caused by blocked blood vessel.
temporary, stroke-like event that lasts for a short time. Like many strokes, TIAs are caused by a blocked blood vessel leading to or within the brain.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA, often colloquially referred to as "mini stroke") is caused by the temporary disturbance of blood supply to a restricted area of the brain, resulting in brief neurologic dysfunction that usually persists for less than 24 hours.
