What condition is caused by the extreme leaking or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain?
This is a stroke - and today there are 10 levels of a stroke - starting with 3 levers of a TIA (transient ischemic attack). TIA's never leave permenant damage. There are 4 levels of a TIA - and 6 levels of a stroke - from mild to a level 10 stroke in which you are dead before you hit the ground (a major blood vein has burst in your brain).
Can you die from a Transient Ischemic Attack TIA?
No, as given in the name, a Transient Ischemic Attack or TIA is "transient". So you do not die from TIA. However, a TIA can progress or lead to a full Stroke. You can die from a Stroke.

Why is a transient ischemic attack called a light stroke sometimes and how is this confirmed?
A TRANSIENT ISCHEMIA ATTACK, or "TIA" is often called a "mini-stroke" or a "light stroke" because, while both a stroke and a TIA are both caused by clots, the TIA. lasts only a few minutes and is temporary and there is usually no permanent damage done to the patient. The TIA.also carries the name "warning stroke" because it often does precede a stroke, if it goes untreated. The way the TIA is confirmed is through a thorough History and Physical by the physician and the patient or family member's recollection of symptoms preceding the event, as well as laboratory testing, and an M.R.I. (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The MRI does not show any signs if this is a TIA.

What does TIA stand for?
TIA stands for Transient Ischemic Attack. A TIA is sometimes called a mini-stroke and is the medical term for stroke-like symptoms that occur and resolve spontaneously within 24 hours. A TIA is treated very seriously and may be the harbinger of a stroke in the near future. Cerebral ischemic events are broken down into symptom duration: Transient ischemic attack (TIA): less than 24 hours duration Reversible ischemic neurologic defect (RIND): 24 to 72 hours duration Cerebrovascular accident (CVA or stroke): greater than 72 hours duration, possibly permanent deficit. TIA stands for Thanks In Advance. ==Other== TIA was used in Blood Diamond to mean This is Africa TIA stands for many other places
If a person had a mini stroke would they have on going head aches and if so what part of the head would the pain be in?
Headaches can be a part of TIA. The location of the pain could be different in every person but is often one-sided.
Does a Tia usually cause unconsciousness?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) typically does not cause unconsciousness. It is a temporary interruption in blood flow to the brain that causes stroke-like symptoms, but these symptoms usually resolve within 24 hours. If unconsciousness occurs, it may be a sign of a more severe event like a stroke.
What is a pre-stroke called?
A pre-stroke is often referred to as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a mini-stroke. It is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that can mimic stroke symptoms but typically resolves within a few minutes to 24 hours with no lasting damage. However, TIAs should be taken seriously as they can be warning signs of a potential future stroke.
