[The patient with carotid reversible cerebral ischemic attack. Clinico-instrumental pathogenetic diagnosis].
Reversible ischemic attacks (RIA) in the carotid territory may be caused by different pathogenetic diseases (atheroembolism, cardioembolism, lacunar infarcts, hemodynamics crisis); peculiar therapeutic treatment has to be related to each pathophysiologic evidence. A pathogenetical and diagnostical approach based on clinical and instrumental data is suggested by the Authors; by this way it was possible to obtain a right pathogenetic diagnosis in 82% of a 144 patients series affected by carotid RIA.
