📋Overview
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often called a mini-stroke, is a temporary episode of neurological dysfunction caused by a brief interruption of blood flow to the brain. It is a warning sign for potential future strokes. The term TIA is still widely used, but modern clinical emphasis is on identifying and managing acute ischemic events promptly to prevent permanent damage.
