A member asked:

A few hours post trans ischemic stroke of 87 yr old - right side mobility was in order as well as speech (bit slow and slurry but clear). 24+ hours later, speech massively impacted: unclear, slurry and drifting. what could this regression be due to?

It is not regression but manifestation of full damage of stroke and needs immediate attention

Following the initial stroke event, brain tissue distal to the obstruction gets inflamed, swollen, and may be irreversibly damaged. This localized cerebral oedema maximizes at 24-36 hrs. You describe the expected outcome in the garden variety stroke.
