Svensk definition
Korta, övergående episoder av lokal, icke-konvulsiv, ischemisk funktionsstörning i hjärnan med en varaktighet av mindre än 24 timmar, och ofta mindre än en timme, orsakade av kortvarig trombos eller emboli. Ischemin kan klassificeras utifrån distribution i kärlen, tidsmönster eller etiologi (t ex embolisk eller trombotisk art).
Engelsk definition
Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp814-6)
