Overview
The differential diagnosis of TIA may include seizures, hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, migraine, renal, hepatic or pulmonary encephalopathy, syncope , subdural hematoma, ischemic stroke, brain tumour, conversion disorder, multiple sclerosis, compressive myelopathy of spinal cord, vestibular disorders, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, nerve root compression, orthostatic hypertension, hypertensive encephalopathy [1][2][3]
