Transient Ischaemic Attacks of the Brain and Eye is a marvelous monograph put together by Hankey and Warlow at a time when brain ischemia is receiving much needed attention, not only from the lay public and general medical practitioners but also from prominent political forces. There has been a need to concisely and yet comprehensively review the current clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic evaluation of patients with warning signs of an impending stroke. This monograph is devoted to answering three essential questions: (1) what is and what is not a transient ischemic attack (TIA)? (2) if there is a TIA, what is the most probable cause and what is the best means by which to be able to identify this? (3) given that you have identified the probable cause, what is the most probable means by which we can avert the major morbidity and mortality associated with a stroke.
