Abstract: Limb shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA) is a rare form of TIA, usually based on severe narrowing or occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Clinically, it is mainly characterized by episodic involuntary limb shaking, which generally lasts for several seconds or minutes and often occurs after exercise or standing up. At present, there are few studies on LS-TIA in China, with only sporadic case reports, and without systematic review and meta-analysis studies; and it seems to fail in attracting widespread concern from neurologists. In this paper, the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging features and diagnosis and treatment methods of LS-TIA are reviewed as follows, in order to improve the level of early recognition and treatment of LS-TIA from clinicians.
