The clinical manifestation of ‘ardita’ is described as either half of the entire body or half of the face affected by aggravated [[vata]] [[dosha]].[Cha. Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/42] So, ardita has a very similar clinical picture as that of pakshaghata (hemiplegia). However, a group of illnesses noted along with ‘ardita’ manifest in episodic form (vega). When the episodic event seizes, the patient is almost in normal state. Thus, a differential diagnosis between ardita and pakshaghata is chiefly relying on the transient nature of ardita [Chakrapani commentary, Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/38-42]

So, ardita simulates a transient ischemic attack or incomplete stroke, and pakshaghata simulates the condition of complete stroke. The difference in line of treatment for ardita and pakshaghata apparantly reflect the difference in their etiopathological context.
