Transient ischemic attack

Transient cerebral ischemic attacks (TCIA) are transient, reversible neurological dysfunctions caused by focal cerebral ischemia. The seizures last for several minutes, usually fully recovered within 30 minutes, and there are often slight neurological deficits over 2 hours, or CT and MRI show signs of cerebral ischemia. The traditional TCIA defines the time limit for recovery within 24 hours. TCIA occurs most frequently between 34 and 65 years of age, with 25.3% over 65 years of age, with more men than women. Sudden onset of the disease, mostly in the body position changes, excessive movement, sudden neck rotation or flexion and extension, etc. There is no threat of onset, transient neurological localization signs, general unconsciousness, which lasts 5-20 minutes, can be recurrent, but generally fully recovered within 24 hours, no sequelae.
