Imaging, so far, would have readily demonstrated an extra-cranial dissection, and likewise stenosis has been excluded. But, you may be experiencing the initial presentation of small vessel ischemia and this would require a series of blood studies to exclude risk factors. Another cause of TIA is Classical Migraine with auras, especially if you take female hormones and/or smoke. See neurologist.
