Cryptogenic Stroke

1. Atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale as risk factors for cryptogenic stroke in patients less than 55 years of age.

Children

1. Results: Chronic graft hepatitis was diagnosed in (24%) children and was most freuqently seen in children transplanted for cryptogenic cirrhosis (71%).

Elderly Patients

1. New-onset seizures in elderly patients are typically cryptogenic or symptomatic partial seizures that require long-term treatment.

Unknown Origin

1. Stroke without an obvious explanation is termed "cryptogenic" (of unknown origin); this constitutes 30-40% of all ischemic strokes.

Etiology

1. We identified two Vanderbilt patients who were diagnosed with cryptogenic liver cirrhosis after a thorough workup for an etiology (Table 1).
2. The etiology of cirrhosis included: alcohol (n=29), chronic hepatitis B (n=25), chronic hepatitis C (n=12) and cryptogenic cirrhosis (n=14).

Cases

1. Such cases are called "cryptogenic" cirrhosis.
2. One case was diagnosed by both ERCP and EUS as having sclerosing cholangitis among the 13 cases with cryptogenic chronic liver disease.
3. These cases are referred to as cryptogenic Lennox-Gastaut syndrome [ 2, 3].

Patients

1. Patients are considered to have idiopathic LGS if they were developing normally prior to the seizures, and cryptogenic if a cause is suspected by unknown.
2. METHODS: A total of 249 consecutive biopsy proven CLD (HBV = 112, HCV = 72, cryptogenic = 65) patients and 134 age matched healthy controls were included.
3. In patients who have stroke of unknown cause (cryptogenic stroke), the prevalence of PFO increases to about 40 percent.

Hepatitis

1. Seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus nucleocapsid antibodies in patients with cryptogenic chronic liver disease.
2. Cryptogenic chronic liver disease and hepatitis C virus infection in children.

Disease

1. Some cases are cryptogenic, i.e, of unknown cause, but most of these are probably due to previously unrecognised fatty liver disease.
2. A significant number of adults have cryptogenic liver disease, in which they develop chronic liver disease for unknown reasons.
3. Cryptogenic liver disease in four children: a novel congenital disorder of glycosylation.

Cryptogenic Cirrhosis

1. Many cases of cryptogenic cirrhosis are likely endstage NASH. While endstage NAFLD currently accounts for 4% to 10% of liver transplants, this may soon rise.
2. Increased body weight and diabetes mellitus may play a role in the causation of cirrhosis in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis.
3. Fifteen out of the seventeen patients had cryptogenic cirrhosis and two had alcoholic cirrhosis.

Cirrhosis

1. Patients undergoing transplantation for cholestatic disease, alcohol, hepatitis C, or cryptogenic cirrhosis were controls.
2. Development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease after orthotopic liver transplantation for cryptogenic cirrhosis.
3. The most common etiology of liver disease was hepatitis C (51%) and cryptogenic cirrhosis (29%).

Epilepsy

1. Imaging has allowed the identification of the cause of epilepsy in many patients, especially children previously considered to have cryptogenic epilepsy.
2. Myoclonus may occur in partial symptomatic (mainly Rasmussen and dysplasia), cryptogenic (frontal) or idiopathic (negative myoclonus in CSWS) epilepsy.

Symptomatic

1. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic (i.e., related to an identified disease process or lesion).
2. The prevalence of persistent seizures was higher in patients with symptomatic or cryptogenic epilepsy than in those with idiopathic epilepsy (40 percent vs.
3. As in West syndrome, LGS result from idiopathic, symptomatic, or cryptogenic causes, and many patients first have West syndrome.

Cryptogenic

1. Patients who receive transplants due to hepatitis C, alcoholic cirrhosis, or cryptogenic (unknown cause) cirrhosis are also at higher risk.
2. In patients who underwent liver transplantation for cryptogenic liver cirrhosis, NAFLD recuured in a quarter of the hepatic allografts.
3. Occult HBV infection in cryptogenic liver cirrhosis in an area with high prevalence of HBV infection.
