Mini-stroke is also called transient ischemic attack (TIA), which can be divided into transient ischemic attack of internal carotid artery system and transient ischemic attack of vertebral-basilar artery system, and the symptoms of carotid artery system are different from those of vertebral artery system.
1. Patients with transient ischemic attack of the internal carotid artery system may have unilateral limb paralysis, unilateral facial paralysis, hemiplegia and other symptoms, as well as unilateral blurring of vision, transient blackout and other symptoms.
2. Patients with transient ischemic attack of vertebrobasilar system may have symptoms such as episodic dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, one- or two-sided cortical blindness, diplopia, nystagmus, and ataxia.
Whether it is transient ischemic attack of internal carotid artery system or transient ischemic attack of vertebrobasilar artery system, the patient’s symptoms often recover within one hour and no permanent damage is left behind. However, 2-7 days after transient ischemic attack is a high-risk period for cerebral infarction attack, so if you have the above mentioned symptoms, please go to the hospital as soon as possible in order to avoid delaying your condition.
