Barth syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, growth retardation, and skeletal myopathy. We describe a case of acute stroke owing to Barth syndrome that required intra-arterial thrombolysis. This case suggests that cardiovascular complications can be observed in patients with Barth syndrome. Stroke prevention measures, including the use of antithrombotic agents, might be warranted. (J Child Neurol 2006;21:805—807; DOI 10.2310/7010.2006.00177).
