Question

TIA? STROKE?

Asked for Female, 60 Years

Lost ability to speak for about 6 seconds. Headaches on and off for 3 weeks. Went to ER. CT neg. MRI about 20 hours later showed "Tiny foci of restricted diffusion within the left cerebral hemisphere consistent with emboluc disease likely from the left carotid arterial system. These demonstrate FLAIR signal changes indicative of infarcts at least 6 hours duration." Please explain what happened to me. Thank you.
