A clinical approach to arterial ischemic childhood stroke: increasing knowledge over the last decade.
Childhood stroke is increasingly being recognized as an important burden not only for affected children and families, but also for socioeconomic reasons. A primary problem is delayed diagnosis, due to the many mimics of childhood stroke, and the variety of manifesting symptoms. The most important is hemiparesis (with/without dysphasia or facial palsy), but ataxia, seizures, and many more are al...

The presence of an arteriopathy (cervical or cerebral) confers an increased risk of recurrent AIS. In the prospective, multicenter VIPS study (Vascular Effects of Infection in Pediatric Stroke), children with arteri...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke
Although many underlying diseases have been reported in the setting of childhood arterial ischemic stroke, emerging research demonstrates that non-atherosclerotic intracerebral arteriopathies in otherwise healthy children are prevalent. Minor infections may play a role in arteriopathies that have no other apparent underlying cause. Although stroke in childhood differs in many aspects from adult...
متن کاملChildhood posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limited data exist on childhood posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke (PCAIS). We describe clinical and radiological features of childhood PCAIS to determine whether there are differences in infarct topography, vascular abnormalities, risk factors, and stroke subtypes when compared to adults. METHODS Children with radiologically confirmed PCAIS were prospective...
