'Malcolm In The Middle' Star Frankie Muniz Suffers 'Mini-Stroke'

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — "Malcolm in the Middle" actor Frankie Muniz suffered from a "mini-stroke" last Friday.

The young star, who turns 27 on Wednesday, discussed few details about his medical scare with his followers on Twitter.

TMZ reported the retired actor was taken to an emergency room in Arizona on Nov. 30 after his friends noticed he had trouble speaking.

A "mini-stroke", or transient ischemic attack, happens when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked, according to WebMD.

Someone who suffers from a "mini-stroke" may be more likely to have a stroke in the future.

Muniz is in the band Kingsfoil and was recently seen on ABC's "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23."
