Your babyâs soft spot is actually two spots called fontanels â one toward the front of that sweet little head; another smaller one toward the back â and theyâre gaps between the bones of your babyâs skull. And though it may seem as if your babyâs soft spots were put there to make you nervous, they actually plays an important role.
Stroke Home > Cause of Mini-Strokes. A transient ischemic attack (also known as a TIA or mini-stroke) is caused by a temporary lack of oxygen- or nutrient-rich blood to a part of the brain. This lack of blood flow occurs because a blood vessel becomes severely narrowed or blocked.
Sometimes, a person can experience a stroke within 24 hours of a first mini stroke, and sometimes months or even years after a first mini stroke. The problem is that you cannot predict if and when you will have a stroke if you have experienced a mini stroke. Your treatment plan will depend on the results of your TIA workup.
