TIA (Transient Ischaemic Attack)

TIA is defined as a brief episode of neurologic dysfunction with no permanent infarction.
Head CT noncontrast is not reliable for acute ischemia, but it can find alternative conditions necessitating management. MRI with DWI displays greater diagnostic ability.
Risk scores that predict future stroke are not reliable when used alone.
Patients are typically admitted for inpatient management due to this risk of future stroke.
