Abstract
Chronic cerebrovascular disease and large ischemic stroke are both associated with cognitive impairment. Much less is known about the acute cognitive sequelae of transient ischemic attack (TIA). Although often overlooked, there is increasing evidence that cognitive impairment does occur following TIA. In some patients, cognitive changes persist after resolution of focal neurological deficits, but the temporal profile of these symptoms is unknown. In addition, clinical and imaging correlates of cognitive impairment after TIA have not been systematically studied. This under-studied and recognized problem has significant implications for TIA patient management. In this review, we summarize the evidence currently available and identify future research priorities.
