    A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a stroke-like event caused by a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that lasts only a few minutes and causes no permanent damage. While TIAs themselves do not cause lasting harm, more than one-third of people who experience a TIA will go on to have an actual stroke, with risks being highest within the first 3 years. It is important not to ignore TIAs due to their association with increased risk of future strokes.
