The Role of Double Interatrial Septum in Cryptogenic Stroke

In this work, the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian woman affected by cryptogenic stroke is reported. After discarding other sources of embolism, a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed, which revealed the presence of a double interatrial septum associated with a left-sided atrial pouch. The persistent interatrial space was identified as the most probable source of thrombus.
