Abstract
Ischemic strokes account for over 80% of strokes. However, the cause of about 25% of them remains undetermined. This kind of ischemic stroke is termed cryptogenic (CS, cryptogenic stroke). In most cases, cryptogenic stroke has an embolic origin, which is marked by worse prognosis compared to strokes of another origin. Therefore, the term Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) was separated from the group of CS in 2014. Cryptogenic stroke, in the broad sense, is a complex case, which presents a challenge to both cardiologists and neurologists. We described the steps, which are essential to take in patients, who have undergone ESUS.
