Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source

Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source, Cryptogenic strokeAbstract
Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source (ESUS) is a nonlacunar strokes without an identified cardioembolic source, occlusive atherosclerosis and no other specific cause of stroke. The causes of ESUS should be excluded by precordial echocardiography, cardiac monitoring over 24 h and vascular imaging of both the extracranial and intracranial arteries supplying the area of brain ischemia. Currently, there is no specific treatment guideline for ESUS. However, the ongoing large randomized controlled trials are performed for confirm the benefit of anticoagulant in secondary stroke prevention in these patients.
