A TIA (transient ischemic attack) typically resolves within 24 hours, often within minutes to hours. It is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, usually caused by a blood clot or narrowing of a blood vessel. It is not typically treated with tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) as it resolves on its own and tPA is only used for certain types of strokes. TIA is not caused by intracranial hemorrhage, but instead by a lack of blood flow to a part of the brain.
