Summary
Mineralizing angiopathy, a rare condition, can mimic acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in infants. Microcalcifications in lenticulostriate arteries, not hemorrhages, are key neuroradiologic findings.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurology
- Neuroradiology
- Rare Diseases
Background:
- Acute onset hemiparesis in infants can be a diagnostic challenge.
- Initial imaging may suggest acute ischemic stroke (AIS), necessitating further investigation.
- Mineralizing angiopathy is a rare condition with limited documented cases.
