Abstract

The clinical characteristics of 172 patients experiencing single or multiple (two or more) transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) were investigated. Risk factors, clinical manifestations and vascular examinations were compared. Intracranial and extra-cranial large-artery disease (stenosis > or = 50%) occurred more frequently in multiple-TIA patients than in single-TIA patients, and weakness and atrial fibrillation were observed more frequently in single TIA than in multiple TIA patients. The type of aetiological examination performed in TIA patients should depend on the frequency of attacks.
