Cerebrovascular stenoses with cerebral infarction in a child with Williams syndrome

Abstract: We report on a patient with Williams syndrome who suffered a cerebrovascular accident. Clinical evaluation demonstrated the presence of carotid and cerebral arterial stenoses. We believe these lesions led to acute cerebrovascular ischemia and a non-hemorrhagic cerebral infarction. It is possible the stenoses were exacerbated by a vasculitis. The stenoses were identified by both invasive and noninvasive imaging studies. These studies may have a role in the evaluation of persons with Williams syndrome.

“…Stroke and sudden death are rarely reported in children. [121][122][123][124][125] Structural intracardiac defects, such as VSD and atrial septal defect, are reported in ϳ10%. MVP also occurs in ϳ10% of children, although echocardiography found mitral valve anomalies in 41% (12/29) in one small series.…”

“…Coronary artery stenosis was found to have occurred in most of the cases that faced sudden death [26]. Abnormalities of the neurovasculature leading to stroke have also been reported [27].…”

“…Oka lehet az arteria renalis szűkülete, de sokszor nem található a hátterében egyértelmű szekunder eltérés. A visceralis artériák szűkülete hasfájást, az intracranialis artéria szű-külete agyi ischaemiás károsodást okozhat, de ennek valós előfordulása ritka [23,24]. Betegünk anamnézisében műtét közbeni szívmegállás szerepel, amely felveti az esetleges műtét közbeni ritmuszavar lehetőségét; a szív-ultrahangvizsgálat aortastenosist nem mutatott.…”
