Stroke: That is a cerebrovascular accident - also known as stroke. With a TIA the effects are not permanent - they resolve. With a stroke, at least some of the problems last and do not recover (go away).

A transient ischemic attack is reversible, and typically lasts about 20 minutes. An ischemic stroke causes permanent damage, and a persistent "left-sided hemiparesis" represents a stroke.
