Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A transient ischemic attack (TIA), also sometimes referred to as a “mini-stroke, ‘’ starts like a stroke but only lasts from several minutes up to 24 hours. Unlike a stroke, a TIA does not kill the brain cells, so there is no lasting damage to the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Residual symptoms after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) The symptoms of a TIA are similar to that of stroke, but they may only last a short while, certainly no more than 24 hours. If symptoms last longer than 24 hours but are mild usually this would be defined as a ‘minor stroke’.

Detailed explanation-3: -A TIA starts suddenly, like ischemic strokes. The difference is that TIAs last only 2 to 30 minutes. Symptoms may include: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief time. A person will have stroke-like symptoms for up to 24 hours. In most cases, the symptoms last for 1 to 2 hours.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) explained A TIA has the same symptoms as a stroke, but they are temporary as the clot naturally dissolves or is dislodged from the blockage. While it is sometimes called a mini stroke, a TIA does not usually cause long-term brain damage.
