A CVA or Cerebrovascular Accident involves the destruction of neurons of the motor area of the cerebrum. Once cells in this portion of the brain are damaged little if any recovery will happen. A CVA hemorrhage from or cessation of blood flow through the cerebral blood vessels or cavity is also known as a stroke in lay terms. Recovery is not to be expected from a CVA and can result in death. On the other hand a TIA or Transischemic Attack also known as a mini-stroke with the proper medical attention is only a temporary limitation of circulation of blood flow and the patient will be able to make a full recovery. However during the event will not be able to have coherent communication and lack of motor skills.
