Lacteral Rectus Right Ans - Which eye muscles move the eye to the side
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Right Ans - Periods of acute cerebral
insufficiency lasting less than 24 hours without an residual deficits. Most
resolve in 3 hours
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Causes/General Concepts Right Ans -
Ischemia due atherosclerosis, thrombus, arterial occulsion, embolus,
intracerbral hemorrhage
Cardio-embolic events such as atrial fib, acute MI, endocarditis, valve disease
TIA is indicative of impeding stroke
,Approximately 1/3 of patients with TIA will experience cerebral infarction
within 5 years

Cognitive and behavioral abnormalities
Dysphagia Vertigo Nystagmus
Components of the mental status exam Right Ans - Appearance
Behavior
Cognition
Thought Processes
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Classifications: Vertebrobasilar Right Ans
- As a result of inadequate blood flow from vertebral arteries
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Classifications: Vertebrobasilar Presentation
Right Ans - Clinical Presentation:
Vertigo, Ataxia, dizziness, visual field deficits, weakness, confusion
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Classifications: Carotid Presentation Right
Ans - Aphasia, dysarthria, altered LOC, weakness, numbness
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Classifications: Carotid Right Ans - TIA
due to carotid stenosis
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Laboratory/Diagnostics Right Ans - CT is
best in distinguishing between ischemia, hemorrhage and tumor
MRI is superior to CT in detecting ischemic infarcts
