[Cerebral ischemic infarct in computer tomography imaging in the diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks]

The term transient ischaemic attack (TIA) does not correspond to findings of new examination methods and is rather a matter of convention. The authors examined 19 patients with the diagnosis of TIA by CT and found in five a cerebral infarction. The dependence of cerebral infarction in TIA on age, sex, risk factors (hypertension, diabetes) and the duration of clinical symptomatology was not significant.
