Cause of Mini-StrokesThe cause of mini-strokes involves a lack of blood flow to the brain that occurs because a blood vessel becomes narrowed or blocked. Most mini-strokes occur when an embolism or thrombosis leads to a blood clot blocking a blood vessel in or near the brain. Stenosis (a severe narrowing of an artery) can also be a cause of mini-strokes.
