A patient presents with acute onset right-sided weakness and tingling, upper extremity greater than lower extremity, for the past 36 hours. He states he has history of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which is why he made an appointment with you instead of going to the ER. Discuss the difference between TIAs and strokes, including the pathophysiology behind both a TIA and a stroke. Based on your understanding of a TIA, you suspect this patient actually had a stroke. What is the key element of the history of present illness (HPI) that leads you to this diagnosis? What would you expect to find on exam if the patient did have a stroke? How would you proceed with the management of this patient?
