In children, clinical recognition of stroke and determination of its exact etiology are extremely difficult. The authors described a case of cryptogenic stroke in a 14-year-old-boy with asymptomatic atrial septal defect and hypercoagulable state. Paradoxical embolism was hypothesized as the responsible etiopathological mechanism. It is crucial to increase clinician awareness of stroke in children.

Key Words: stroke • paradoxical embolism • atrial septal defect • hyperhomocysteinemia
