The answer depends: The answer depends on what you consider minor and what part of the brain the stroke affects. Say for example, a small stroke that affects the pons can cause trouble talking and hand weakness. A larger stroke can also cause these symptoms. Large strokes may not recover as well, but the treatment and prevention of large and small strokes is the same. Both are important!
