Background : Intracardiac pathology resulting in embolic phenomena is a well-recognized cause of cerebral ischemia and infarction. Method : From 1991 to 1995, 215 patients were included in this study. Results : Tee identified a potential cardiac source of embolism in 43.7%(94 to 215) of the overall study group compared with only 3.7%(8 to 215) by TEE. Conclusion : TEE was very useful method in investigating potential intracardiac source of cerebral emboil
