Transient ischemic attack (TIA, Mini-Stroke): A neurological event with the signs and symptoms of a stroke, but which go away within a short period of time. Also called a mini-stroke, a TIA is due to a temporary lack of adequate blood and oxygen (ischemia) to the brain.This is often caused by the narrowing (or, less often, ulceration) of the carotid arteries (the major arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain).lso called a mini-stroke, a TIA is due to a temporary lack of adequate blood and oxygen (ischemia) to the brain.

A stroke is a stroke-some leave residual damage, others do not. TIA's-transient ischemic attacks are precursors to a stroke and give all the symptoms of a stroke but the symptoms usually go away within a few hours. Doctors often refer to a small stroke or mini-stroke because it has not caused major loss of function. Source(s): Health care provider. J B Â· 6 years ago.
