A 10-year review of a neuropediatric department experience with childhood ischemic cerebrovascular disease identified 35 patients with arterial ischemic stroke. The ability to diagnose stroke in children has improved with the development of imaging techniques in the past few years. Children have a wide array of risk factors for ischemic strokes, since some are acquired and others are congenital. Twenty-eight associated conditions (80%) were found in our patients and we identified 17 specific causes (48.5%) among them. The cause of stroke in children is important to recognize because stroke is likely to recur depending on the etiology. (J Child Neurol 1997;12:193-199).
