Transesophageal echocardiography in the etiologic diagnosis of stroke

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1991
One-sixth of all cerebral infarctions are the result of cardioembolic phenomena. The certainty with which the diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke is made, however, is frequently questioned. This has partly been the result of the low sensitivity of traditional cardiac diagnostic procedures, such as surface transthoracic echocardiography and Holter ...

Age, sex, and setting in the etiology of stroke study (ASSESS): Study design and protocol [PDF]

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2019
RATIONALE: Stroke etiology and risk factors vary by age, sex, setting (hospital or community-based) and by region. Identifying these differences would improve our understanding of stroke etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Etiology of stroke in children.

Journal of child neurology, 1993
Cerebrovascular disorders are more common than once suspected, and our ability to diagnose stroke in children has improved with the development of newer imaging techniques in recent years. Children have a wide array of risk factors that promote cerebral infarction or hemorrhage, and a likely cause can eventually be pinpointed in about two thirds of ...

Epidemiology and etiology of pediatric stroke

Journal of Pediatric Neurology, 2015
Stroke may be an underestimated disease in children and adolescents. Several studies report an annual incidence as high as for brain tumors: 2–13 children for arterial ischemic, 1–5 for hemorrhagic stroke and 0.67/100,000 children for cerebral venous thrombosis. Recurrence of stroke ranges from 10–20% and depends on the underlying risk factors. Genetic

[Rare causes of stroke-a frequent stroke etiology].

Der Nervenarzt, 2019
As a whole, rare stroke causes represent a frequent stroke etiology. Since rare stroke causes affect primarily young patients, early diagnosis and treatment are of high socioeconomic relevance. In our everyday clinical practice, cervical artery dissection, which is the most common stroke etiology among patients < 45 years, and vasculitis are ...
