TIA: In texas, most people use "mini-stroke" synonymously with tia's (tranisent ischemic attacks). Tia's can cause the same symptoms as a "real" stroke, which are completely dependent on the part of the brain involved, but the symptoms completely resolve. Also, tia's show no changes on ct or MRI scans.
