Several predictors of the delayed AIS diagnosis were identified in the present study. Efforts to target these predictors can reduce diagnostic delays and optimize the management of AIS in children.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: PAIS occurs more frequently in younger children and this group most frequently presents with convulsion as the initial symptom.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Research suggests that risk factors, outcomes, and presentation are different from those of adult stroke.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Brain regions presenting delayed arterial transit effects were tentatively associated with positive outcome. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the clinical utility of ASL in the neuroimaging diagnosis of pediatric AIS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The uncommon incidence, age-associated difference and plethora of clinical symptoms make the diagnosis of such strokes extremely difficult and often delayed. The history and clinical examination should point to diseases or predisposing factors.[biomed.papers.upol.cz]
Introduction Stroke is among the top 10 causes of death in childhood. 1 Population-based estimates of the annual incidence of childhood stroke range from 4.6 to 13 per 100 000 children. 2 – 4 Traditional adult arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) risk factors[ahajournals.org]
Look for signs of increased intracranial pressure, such as papilledema. A full neurologic exam should be completed, including mental status, cranial nerves, motor function, sensory testing, reflexes, and coordination.[now.aapmr.org]
Volpe warned that as soon as the case seems to be progressing, involves pain, or is associated with atypical disc findings, a more detailed workup is indicated, including an MRI scan and blood workup for systemic inflammation and multiple sclerosis.[aao.org]
After transfer to a children’s hospital and an exhaustive workup, the etiology of his stroke remained unclear. At four-month outpatient follow-up, the patient had only minimal left arm weakness.[westjem.com]

The general approach to diagnostic evaluation is summarized in Table III. although in practice the direction of the workup has to be individualized. The evaluation should begin with a computed tomography (CT) scan, without contrast administration.[indianpediatrics.net]
Medical records were reviewed for timing, semiology, and treatment of acute symptomatic seizures, remote symptomatic seizures (RSS), and epilepsy. Cumulative incidence of RSS and epilepsy were assessed using survival analysis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was given to children with fever and drowsiness. Conclusion : Infection was an important risk factor for children with AIS in China.[tandfonline.com]
We sought to determine trends in the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), treatment outcomes, and predictors of mortality for pediatric patients with acute ischemic stroke by using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The risk for new silent lesions and/or stroke was compared for each treatment arm.[researchgate.net]
To date there is little evidence on which to base acute treatments for childhood AIS.[annalsofian.org]

Visual prognosis. Patients often ask, “Will my vision get better?” If OCT shows a loss of the nerve fiber layer, the answer is no, Dr. Golnik said. But in other cases, vision may return rapidly.[aao.org]
For all 42 cases, the most frequent etiologies were infections (38.1%, n 16), iron deficiency anemia (16.7%, n 7), and moyamoya syndrome (11.9%, n 5).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This review examines the epidemiology and etiologies of neonatal and childhood AIS and provides a detailed discussion of approaches to the clinical characterization, diagnostic evaluation, and management.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Risk factors for neonatal AIS favor inflammatory etiologies, including chorioamnionitis, prolonged rupture of membranes, and other systemic stressors such as hypoglycemia and low APGARs [ 4 ].[pediatricneurologybriefs.com]
Because of its multifactorial etiology pediatric AIS probably has a multigenic inheritance pattern.[researchgate.net]
