Cerebrovascular accidents in childhood - part 1

Cerebrovascular accidents (stroke) are infrequent in childhood, however their course may be very serious. They differ from stroke in adulthood by proportional incidence of ischaemic and hemorrhagic accidents. A wide spectrum of diseases may cause a stroke in children. In the acute phase besides a rapid evaluation with CT or MRI it is necessary to look for risk factors – besides risk factors frequent in adults (hypertension, lipid disorders, diabetes mellitus) mainly vessel anomalies, thrombophilic states, cardiac pathology, metabolic disorders, drug abuse. Rapid and correct diagnosis is necessary for early therapeutic intervention.
