Key result
Cryptogenic strokes comprise ~15% of all strokes and predominantly present as embolic-appearing non-lacunar infarcts.
Cryptogenic strokes account for 10-15% of all strokes and are mostly embolic-appearing non-lacunar infarcts.
Underscores cryptogenic stroke burden with embolic features; leaves open etiology-driven diagnostic and therapeutic advances.
Cryptogenic stroke (CS) refers to the cerebral infarcts for which no definite cause is identified after adequate diagnostic evaluation [1]. It accounts for 10-15% of all strokes. Most of the cryptogenic strokes are embolicappearing non-lacunar infarcts based on the radiographic pattern [2].
