Thanks to everyone who shared with me their opinions and experiences concerning my "PD and mini-strokes" question. I have been able to find some references to arteriosclerotic parkinsonism, also called vascular pseudoparkinsonism resulting in parkinsonian symptoms and caused from damage to brain vessels due to multiple small strokes. I have also found it referred to as atypical parkinsons and non-idiopathic parkinsons. I had no idea there were so many categories and sub-categories of parkinson's. >From what I've been able to gather searching the web, mini-stroke and TIA are used interchangeably in most of the info I've found. The symptoms being the same as for "stroke" but with less duration (under 24 hours) for TIA or mini-stroke and over 24 hours for stroke. Lori Bauer cg for grandmother [log in to unmask]
