A transient ischemic attack, commonly known as a mini-stroke, is a temporary or transient stroke with noticeable symptoms that end within 24 hours. It causes the same symptoms as a stroke, such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body, sudden dimming or loss of vision, difficulty speaking or understanding language, and slurred speech.
