transient ischemic attack (tia)

a transient ischemic attack (tia) happens when blood flow to part of the brain is stopped for a short time. this can cause stroke symptoms that may last for at least a few minutes. but unlike a stroke, a tia doesn't cause lasting brain damage.

a tia is a warning that you may have a stroke in the future. early treatment can help prevent a stroke.
