Abstract EN
Stroke is relatively rare in children, but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
Understanding that children with strokes present differently than adults and often present with unique risk factors will optimize outcomes in children.
Despite an increased incidence of pediatric stroke, there is often a delay in diagnosis, and cases may still remain under- or misdiagnosed.
Clinical presentation will vary based on the child's age, and children will have risk factors for stroke that are less common than in adults.
Management strategies in children are extrapolated primarily from adult studies, but with different considerations regarding short-term anticoagulation and guarded recommendations regarding thrombolytics.
Although most recommendations for management are extrapolated from adult populations, they still remain useful, in conjunction with pediatric-specific considerations.
