FAQ
Even though most people with this condition do not experience any symptom, whenever blood clots from the right atrium flows to the left atrium and then enters the brain, PFO can produce such symptoms as these: Dizziness, vertigo, swaying and loss of balance. Bell's palsy or incoherent speech.
Patent foramen ovale is prevalent in 20–34% of the population1 and are generally benign and asymptomatic. Occasionally, they can give rise to systemic emboli, which can cause both ocular and cerebral ischaemic events, such as cryptogenic strokes.
However, a PFO can allow those clots to bypass the lungs and cross to the left side of the heart. From there, they can be pumped to the brain, causing a stroke. People who have a PFO and have had an embolic stroke of unknown cause may be at an increased risk for having a second stroke.
The foramen ovale plays a vital role in sustaining life in-utero; however, a patent foramen ovale (PFO) after birth has been associated with pathologic sequelae in the systemic circulation including stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), migraine, high altitude pulmonary edema, decompression illness, platypnea– ...

Patent foramen ovale affects about 25% of people worldwide. PFO impacts about 30% to 40% of people who've had an unexplained stroke. This does not mean that everyone who has PFO will experience a stroke or mini-stroke.

All babies have this opening (called a foramen ovale) before birth to allow blood to bypass the lungs. Shortly after birth, the tissue usually grows together and closes the hole. But in about 25 percent of people, the hole remains open (patent), resulting in a PFO. Many people have a PFO and never know it.
These findings indicate that 60,000 to 80,000 cryptogenic ischemic strokes per year in the US occur in patients with a PFO.
