Match Imaging with Symptoms
- Always correlate stroke imaging findings with clinical symptoms for accurate diagnosis. - If imaging findings don't align with symptoms, consider alternative diagnoses beyond stroke.
Defining True TIA
- Transient neurologic symptoms are rarely TIA if bilateral or vague. - True TIAs quickly reach maximal intensity and then resolve, revealing stroke risk on MRI.
Use ABCD2 to Stratify Risk
- Use the ABCD2 score to risk-stratify TIA patients for stroke recurrence. - Scores >3 indicate moderate or higher risk prompting urgent workup or admission.
