Abstract:
The etiology of ischemic stroke in young adults is extensive, and cardiogenic embolism and cervicocephalic arterial dissection are the most common. In recent years, the proportion of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke has increased because of the increased incidence and inadequate control for the traditional vascular risk factors in young adults. However, even after a detailed and comprehensive examination, there is stil about 1/3 unknown etiology.
