ALGORITHM FOR THE EVALUATION OF DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC TRANSIENT ATTACK
Abstract:
Approximately 15% of stroke are preceded by a transient ischemic attack, and
approximately 33% of transient ischemic attacks are followed in about 5 years by a cerebral
infarction. These statistical data fully justify the importance of establishing a correct clinical
diagnosis and the need for patient assessment when morphological and functional disorders lead to
reduced adaptability to the professional environment. The positive diagnosis of transient ischemic
attack is difficult because in about 10% of cases the doctor assists in an attack. Imaging more
difficultly accessible methods, as well as the existence of numerous clinical conditions that can mimic
attack, make it difficult to evaluate such a patient. This article proposes to establish an algorithm for
the evaluation of patients diagnosed with ischemic transient attack starting from a retrospective study
on a group of subjects admitted to the National Institute for Medical Expertise and Work Capacity
