TIA
(Transient Ischemic Attack)
A TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) is a
temporary closure of a blood vessel in the brain. The closure is caused by a
blood clot. That blood clot dissolves again. As a result, the symptoms last no
longer than half an hour, sometimes a little longer. With a TIA there are no
lasting consequences. It can be a precursor to a cerebral infarction with
permanent brain damage. Therefore always take a TIA seriously. For symptoms,
call 112 immediately. The signals from a TIA, cerebral infarction and bleeding
are the same. The 3 most important signals are: a crooked mouth, confused
speech and a paralyzed arm. If the symptoms disappear completely quickly or if
you afterwards think that you had symptoms, it is important to go to the doctor
the same day.
