Just found out I’ve had a silent mini stroke (TIA). Had this?

The CT scan was “over interpreted” and completely wrong. I had further follow-up with MRI and three neurologists confirmed I didn’t have a stroke, and MRI was normal! The stress this error caused was horrendous, but relieved with correct results. I’ve learned to always follow-up with MRI, which is gold standard!

Hi, @ginger123 - sorry to hear about the wrong CT scan but happy to hear about your normal MRI with no stroke.

You'd mentioned that the “incidental” finding of a silent mini stroke caused horrendous stress. How are you doing lately?
