“…25 The absence of hemorrhagic stroke was notable, given that hemorrhagic stroke is estimated to account for approximately half of all childhood stroke with hematologic abnormalities reported as the major risk factor in most series. 26 Similar to HGPS, children with Moyamoya also most commonly experience ischemic stroke. 27 It has not yet been established whether stroke in HGPS results from the progressive cerebral arteriopathy, narrowing and/or occlusion of the arteries within the neck, emboli arising from atheromatous plaque within arteries of the neck, emboli arising from a cardiac source, or a combination of the aforementioned processes.…”

Objectives: To summarize 1) the definitions and epidemiological features of stroke in children; 2) the main risk factors that can lead to stroke in pediatrics and neonatology; 3) the main pathophysiological features involved in the genesis of brain injury in stroke; 4) the clinical manifestations and imaging diagnosis; and 5) the latest recommendations concerning the support measures, treatment, and prophylaxis of stroke in children.Sources: A review of the literature published in PubMed, EMBASE, and SciELO databases using the search terms stroke, pediatrics, and neonatology was performed, including relevant references from the chosen texts. Summary of the findings:Stroke in children are rare conditions, with incidence rates among two and eight per 100,000 children up to 14 years, and most cases show an underlying disease such as heart diseases, prothrombotic conditions, sickle-cell disease, and vascular malformations. There are no specific guidelines currently in place for the treatment of stroke in children, although central elements include support treatment, monitoring, and anticoagulation as secondary prevention in certain cases. Prognosis depends on the extent of brain damage and the underlying disease but recurrence rates are high in most cases. Conclusions:Early diagnosis of stroke in children is very important and pediatricians should be aware of the lack of specificity of the symptoms to avoid late sequelae and improve life quality.

Objective: To identify specific angiographic factors associated with haemorrhagic presentation of brain arteriovenous malformation in Chinese paediatric patients. Design:Retrospective cross-sectional observational study. Setting Main outcome measures:The following parameters were evaluated for their association with haemorrhagic presentation by univariate and multivariate analyses: nidus location, nidus size, nidus morphology (diffuse or compact); origin and number of arterial feeders; venous drainage; number of draining veins; presence of aneurysms, venous varices, and venous stenosis.Results: A total of 67 children and adolescents (28 male, 39 female) with a mean age of 12 years were included. Of them, 52 (78%) presented with haemorrhage. Arteriovenous malformation size (P=0.004) and morphology (P=0.05) were found to be associated with haemorrhagic presentation by univariate analysis. Small arteriovenous Angiographic factors associated with haemorrhagic presentation of brain arteriovenous malformation in a Chinese paediatric population New knowledge added by this study • Studies on paediatric arteriovenous malformation (AVM) are scarce and mostly based in Caucasian populations. This multicentre study involving Chinese paediatric patients found that small AVM nidus size and diffuse nidal morphology are independent risk factors for haemorrhage. Implications for clinical practice or policy • These two angiographic features associated with haemorrhagic presentation can help local clinicians to assess bleeding risk and determine the therapeutic approach (aggressive vs conservative) and treatment timeframe in paediatric patients with cerebral AVM.
