A single-site retrospective study of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke etiology, clinical presentation, and radiologic features.

CONCLUSIONS: PAIS occurs more frequently in younger children and this group most frequently presents with convulsion as the initial symptom. The overall etiologies of PAIS may be different from those of adult stroke and the involved regions may be distinguishing features of PAIS or its different forms, but more research is required.
