Ischemic strokes in children.

A Dusser, F Goutières, J Aicardi

    Journal of Child Neurology
    |April 1, 1986

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Idiopathic childhood ischemic strokes have a favorable long-term prognosis, with no recurrences and low rates of severe intellectual disability. However, movement disorders like dystonia and dyskinesia remain a significant risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Cerebrovascular Diseases

    Background:

    • Childhood ischemic strokes are less common than in adults.
    • Idiopathic strokes, with no identifiable cause, represent a significant portion of pediatric cases.
    • Understanding the long-term outcomes of childhood stroke is crucial for prognosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term prognosis of childhood ischemic strokes of arterial origin.
    • To specifically analyze outcomes in idiopathic stroke cases.
    • To identify potential long-term handicaps following pediatric stroke.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 44 children (excluding neonates) with arterial ischemic strokes.
    • Documentation of strokes via CT scan and/or cerebral angiography.

  • Assessment of outcomes including recurrence, epilepsy, cognitive impairment, and motor deficits over an average of 48 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Idiopathic strokes accounted for half of the cases (22/44).
    • The idiopathic group showed favorable outcomes: no recurrences, two developed epilepsy, and two had severe intellectual disability.
    • Significant rates of residual dystonia and dyskinesia were observed (14/22 in the idiopathic group, 18/44 overall).

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term prognosis for childhood ischemic stroke is generally excellent, particularly for idiopathic cases.
    • The primary long-term risk appears to be the development of secondary evolutive dystonia and dyskinesia.
    • Further research into the causes and prevention of these movement disorders is warranted.
