Orthostatic transient ischemic attacks: a symptom of large vessel occlusion.
Orthostatic transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are very much rarer than orthostatic generalized cerebral ischemia (syncope). A case is described and previous reports reviewed. Orthostatic TIA appears to occur only with large vessel occlusion. In these patients, collateral blood supply is marginal and unable to support normal postural autoregulation.
متن کاملShort Communication Orthostatic Transient Ischemic Attacks: A Symptom of Large Vessel Occlusion
TRANSIENT CEREBRAL ISCHEMIC ATTACKS may be focal or generalized (syncope). The latter are usually caused by a fall in systemic blood pressure, often precipitated by standing. Focal transient ischemic attacks (TIA) however, are rarely associated with hypotensive episodes' 2 and even more rarely are precipitated by standing. A case of orthostatic TIA is presented and previous cases from the liter...
متن کاملIntracranial large vessel occlusion as a predictor of decline in functional status after transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE clinical scores help predict outcome after transient ischemic attack (TIA), and imaging studies may improve the accuracy of predictions. Intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO) predicts poor outcome after stroke, but the natural history of symptomatic intracranial LVO in patients with TIA is unknown. METHODS we studied patients presenting with TIA in the STOP Stroke S...
متن کاملTransient cerebral ischemic attacks.
“Stroke” is defined as rapid onset of focal neurological deficit, resulting from diseases of the cerebral vasculature and its contents. The term “transient ischemic attacks” (TIA) implies warning symptoms of stroke usually lasting upto 30 minutes to one hour, and complete recovery within 24 hours. Second TIA often causes more damage than the first. Without proper treatment one out of ten subjec...
متن کاملIschemic Preconditioning From Transient Ischemic Attacks?
Reduced impact of ischemia after an initial ischemic insult—ischemic preconditioning—has been demonstrated in a number of animal models. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) may produce ischemic preconditioning in people who have a subsequent stroke within days of an initial ischemic insult. We performed a cohort study of all 1707 patients given a diagnosis of TIA by an emergency department physicia...
