“…As the primary objective of evaluating patients with TIA is prevention of subsequent ischemic stroke, clinicians should consider that entity a medical emergency and institute a quick and efficient diagnostic evaluation. The risk of stroke post-TIA varies widely, in accordance with the notion that TIAs result from very different causes, and the risk of a subsequent stroke depends largely on the underlying cause and mechanism of the index event 18 – 20 . Several scoring systems have been introduced through the years in an attempt to quantify the stroke risk of patients with TIA, and ABCD 2 score is the most popular 21 – 25 .…”

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) constitutes an important clinical condition, indicating the presence of considerable risk for a subsequent ischemic stroke. Its prompt diagnosis and management have the potential for reducing the risk of neurologic disability, highlighting the critical need to prioritize the care of patients with TIA. The risk of ischemic stroke following a TIA is directly related to its etiopathogenesis, and recognizable causes are commonly categorized within one of three domains: cerebrovascular pathology, cardiac dysfunction, and hematologic disorders. Therefore, the clinical approach to patients suspected of having suffered a TIA demands a comprehensive evaluation, including testing of possible etiologic conditions in all three of these domains, best carried out in an expedited fashion since the stroke risk is greatest in the hours and days that follow the index event. The present is a review of the existing literature addressing the diagnosis, evaluation, prioritization, and management strategies available to clinicians who provide care to patients with TIA.

“…However, the hyperintensity on DWI decreases after 10 days and totally disappears at 2-3 weeks after the original attack. Thus, it is recommended to complete diagnosis of TIA in DWI within 24 hours of symptom onset since TIA differs from stroke in the symptoms that usually last less than an hour without permanent brain damage in MRI (76,81,82).…”

Background and Objective: Cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly cerebral stroke, remain a primary cause of disability and death worldwide. Accurate diagnosis of CVDs is essential to guide therapeutic decisions and foresee the prognosis. Different CVDs have different pathological processes while they have many signs in common with some other brain diseases. Thus, differential diagnoses of strokes from other primary and secondary CVDs are especially important and challenging.Methods: This review is composed mainly based on searching PubMed articles
