This isn't my phrase - the origin is from Donald Rumsfeld in the US but I think this applies in the field of stroke medicine - do we fail to diagnose cryptogenic stroke because we don't look for the right diagnoses or because we don't understand the disease? there is a thought provoking online editorial in Heart that got me thinking about this http://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2012/04/26/heartjnl-2012-301648.full sadian |

before dignosing cryptogenic stroke, we should do some special investigation such as transesophagael echo, droppler study of heart and great vessels, mitochondrial disease lab testand detailed search of autoimmuno, haematological, homocysteine test.despite all sort test we miss cryptogenic stroke. |
