The TIAregistry.org project was designed to describe the contemporary profile, etiologic factors, and outcomes in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who receive care ...
متن کاملPredictors of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack in Children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient ischemic attack (TIA) in children has received far less attention compared with TIA in adults. The risk factors of stroke after TIA in children are relatively unknown. We aimed to determine the percentage of children who have stroke after TIA and the risk factors associated with stroke after TIA. METHODS We searched the medical records at Boston Children's Hos...
متن کاملProlonged hypoperfusion and early stroke after transient ischemic attack.
Many patients suffer a stroke early after a transient ischemic attack, but the reason why is often unclear. We studied 12 patients with less than 75% stenosis of the internal carotid artery and a single hemispheric transient ischemic attack lasting less than 1 hour who had a normal neurologic examination 3-13 hours later and a normal computed tomogram 24-36 hours later. Single-photon emission c...
