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.
