Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Currently available approaches to ischemic stroke classification are either causative or phenotypic. • The TOAST classification is the most widely used system for establishing ischemic stroke etiology. • Modified TOAST classifications with improved reliability have been developed but their wide use is still limited. • Development of an ideal etiological classification of ischemic stroke is impeded by the lack of a gold standard.
