Abstract

Strokes of cryptogenic origin or of undetermined origin represent 20% to 30% of the total etiologies that make up ischemic strokes. It is for this reason that the purpose of this article is to review our current knowledge and the most recent recommendations on the most used diagnostic tests in strokes of undetermined origin, with the most frequent causes being paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial heart disease, patent foramen ovale as in this case, as well as sub stenotic atherosclerotic disease.
Results: to emphasize the diagnostic tests used in cryptogenic stroke, of apparent embolic origin.
Conclusions: cerebrovascular accidents of undetermined origin represent a clinically relevant subtype of cerebrovascular accident, which justifies a careful evaluation due to their degree of recurrence and the great economic costs that this type of pathology entails in our society, due to its great disabling capacity. or due to major diagnostic limitations.
