Vascular imaging outcomes of childhood primary angiitis of the central nervous system

Inflammation affecting cerebral blood vessels is a common cause of stroke in children. Arterial abnormalities on vascular imaging are an important risk factor for stroke recurrence. We aimed to describe the vascular imaging outcomes in children with primary angiitis of the central nervous system (cPACNS) after 12-months, and identify factors associated with vascular progression and stroke recurrence.
