BACKGROUND: The @entity9998 is defined as recurrent transient @entity8987 that usually precede a capsular @entity1188 . Several aspects regarding the clinical management are controversial. We report the clinical and radiological characteristics of a multicenter series of @entity1 with @entity9998 , as well as their functional outcome during the follow-up. AIMS: We sought to describe the clinico-radiological spectrum of the @entity9998 and to report the functional outcomes and recurrences of these @entity1 during the follow-up. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter study that collected clinical and radiological data from @entity1 with @entity9998 during 2003-2013. @entity9998 was defined as the succession of three or more motor or sensory-motor @entity8987 within a period of 72   h, with complete recovery between them. We recorded the functional outcome (favorable when Rankin scale score  <=2) and recurrences during follow-up. RESULTS: Our study included 42 @entity1 whose mean age was 66  4        10 years; 71  4% of them were @entity1 . The mean number of episodes before a permanent @entity16 occurred or before a complete recovery of symptoms was 5  1        2  3. Up to 30 @entity1 (71  2%) had an acute @entity1188 visible on the neuroimaging (computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging). The internal capsule was the most frequent @entity1188 location (50%), but other locations were noted. Twelve @entity1 (28  6%) received thrombolysis in the acute phase. A favorable outcome was observed in 39 @entity1 (92  9%). After a mean follow-up of 35        29 months, only one @entity1 suffered a recurrent @entity385 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity9998 preceded an @entity1188 in 71  2% of @entity1 . In addition to the internal capsule, other locations were noted. The most effective treatment remains unclear. The functional prognosis is favorable in most @entity1 and recurrences are rare.
