===[[Ischemic stroke]] causes (87%)===
*Thrombotic (80% of ischemic CVA)
**Atherosclerosis
**[[Vasculitis]]
**[[Vertebral and carotid artery dissection]] 
***Often preceded by yoga, spinal manipulation, coughing, vomiting
**[[Polycythemia]]
**Hypercoagulable state (oral contraceptives, antiphospholipid antibodies, protein S and C deficiencies, sickle cell anemia)
**Infection
**[[Toxicologic exposure]] ([[cocaine]], [[amphetamines]], etc.)
*Embolic (20% of ischemic CVA)
**[[endocarditis|Valvular vegetations]]
**[[Mural thrombi]]
**Arterial-arterial emboli from proximal source (ex. ''[[amaurosis fugax]]'' -> emboli from a proximal carotid artery plaque embolizes to the ophthalmic artery, causing transient monocular blindness)
**[[Fat embolism syndrome|Fat emboli]]
**Septic emboli
*[[Shock|Hypoperfusion]]
**Cardiac failure resulting in systemic hypotension
*Cryptogenic
**Cryptogenic Stroke (CS) is defined as an Ischemic stroke of obscure or unknown origin. Its causes are unknown. It is transitory or reversible.<ref>[Finsterer J. Management of cryptogenic stroke. Acta Neurol Belg. 2010 Jun;110(2):135-47. PMID: 20873443].</ref>
