Abstract:
Limb shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA) can be recognized by paroxysmal cerebral hemisphere hemodynamic damage performance that lasts for several seconds or minutes, often occurring after exercise or standing and may be accompanied by numbness of the local limb. Clinically LS-TIA is ignored by doctors and misdiagnosed as epilepsy and the disease has a high risk of stroke and poor prognosis. The prompt recognition of the limb-shaking transcient ischemic attack is crucial to implement options aiming at preventing future stroke. Patients with LS-TIA can benefit from therapies aiming at improving cerebral perfusion.However, the benefit of revascularization and drug conservative treatment remains to be determined and specific diagnosis and treatment should be formulated according to the specific clinical characteristics of patients.
