Résumé
Cryptogenic strokes are strokes with no clear underlying cause. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is believed to be one of the causes of cryptogenic strokes. To manage such cases, closing the PFO is usually considered an option. We report a case of a middle-aged male with lymphoma who presented with an altered mental status due to a stroke, which, on investigation, was found to be due to an underlying PFO. This report explores the factors that must be considered when making the decision to close the PFO and emphasizes the vital role of a multi-disciplinary team in determining the best course of action for patients with cryptogenic strokes.
