Overview
The clinical features are cerebral ischemia (strokes), recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), sensorimotor paralysis (numbness and paralysis of the extremities), convulsions and/or migraine-like headaches. After an ischemic stroke, a hemorrhagic reperfusion stroke may occur. A hemorrhagic stroke may also stem from rupture of the weak neovascular vessel walls.
- Stroke
- TIA commonly referred to as mini-stroke
- Muscular weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body
- Seizures
- Disturbed consciousness
- Speech deficits (usually aphasia)
