A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often referred to as a mini-stroke, may only last a short time, but it still needs immediate medical attention. Because the symptoms often disappear quickly, many people assume the problem has passed. Doctors say that's a mistake.

A TIA can be an early warning sign of a future stroke if the underlying condition is not identified and treated. The Neurology and Stroke Care Clinic is encouraging New Jersey residents to seek timely treatment for transient ischemic attack whenever these symptoms occur, even if they seem to resolve on their own.

Transient Ischemic Attack Symptoms Should Never Be Ignored
It's common for people to wait until they start feeling better. The symptoms may disappear, but that doesn't mean everything has returned to normal. A TIA happens when blood flow to part of the brain is temporarily reduced, and finding out why it happened is just as important as treating the episode itself. Symptoms may include:
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
A drooping face
Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
Blurred or double vision
Loss of balance or sudden dizziness
Brief episodes of confusion
Even if these signs last only a few minutes, they should be checked by a neurologist. Early evaluation can help lower the risk of a future stroke.

Neurological Care That Focuses on the Cause
TIA treatment does not occur without an underlying medical factor. Identifying what contributed to the event is an important part of the evaluation process. During the evaluation, the neurologist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and any health conditions that may have increased your stroke risk.

From there, a treatment plan is built around your specific needs rather than using the same approach for everyone. Your care may include:
A neurological examination
Brain imaging or other diagnostic tests, if needed
Treatment based on the patient's diagnosis and risk factors
Follow-up appointments to track your progress
