Abstract:
:Despite advances in understanding the cause of ischemic stroke, cryptogenic stroke remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Approximately 15% to 40% of all ischemic strokes have no identifiable cause. CS is a diagnosis of exclusion after completing the standard stroke work-up. Further investigation needs to be tailored individually according to results of the clinical evaluation so appropriate secondary prevention strategies can be applied.
