title: Trigeminal artery and microemboli to the brain stem. Report of two cases.
abstract: The authors report two cases of transient ischemic attacks (TIA's) involving the brain stem. The TIA's were due to microemboli that originated from a carotid bifurcation atherosclerotic plaque and travelled through a persistent trigeminal artery.
