MeSH Heading: Ischemic Attack, Transient
Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.300.150.836; C14.907.253.092.836
Unique ID: D002546
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002546
Annotation: coordinate with specific site in the brain if pertinent
Scope Note: Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp814-6)
