Embolic Strokes of Unknown Source and Cryptogenic Stroke: Implications in Clinical Practice
Front Neurol 7:1-16, Nouh, A.,et al, 2016
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Embolic stroke of undetermined source, a new clinical entity particularly refers to patients with embolic stroke for whom the etiology of embolism remains unidentified despite through investigations ruling out established cardiac and vascular sources. In this article, we review current classification and discuss important clinical considerations in these patients; highlighting cardiac arrhythmias and structural abnormalities, patent foramen ovale, paradoxical sources, and potentially under-recognized, vascular, inflammatory, autoimmune, and hematologic sources in relation to clinical practice.
