Role of trauma and infection in childhood hemorrhagic stroke due to vascular lesions

Conclusions:
Our observed association between trauma and hemorrhagic stroke with a vascular lesion may be explained by traumatic pseudoaneurysms. Neither recent head or neck trauma nor infection appeared to be a "trigger" for pediatric hemorrhagic stroke due to underlying vascular malformations.
