Arterial ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke in Chinese children: A retrospective analysis
This study retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients in both department of neurology and department of neurosurgery in Children’s hospital of Chongqing medical university from January 2003 to March 2011, and patients were eligible for analysis if they had been diagnosed with AIS or HS. And SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The χ2 test was used to exam relationships between stroke types and sex, age, and that between neuroradiological images and sex. 119 Boys (70.4%) and 50 girls (29.6%) were included. In these cases, HS accounted for the majority of the cases (n=109, 64.1%), and vitamin K ...

Perfusion status of the stroke-like lesion at the hyperacute stage in MELAS
Abstract: Hypoperfusion on single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the stroke-like lesion (SLL) at the hyperacute stage of mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is considered to be a supportive evidence of the mitochondrial angiopathy theory. Our objectives were to examine whether other neuroimages, especially transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS), done at the hyperacute stage of stroke-like episode (SLE) is consistent with hypoperfusion of the SLL. We reviewed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), SPECT, cerebral angiography, and TCCS of a patient with MELAS ...

Pediatric epilepsy following neonatal seizures symptomatic of stroke
Neonatal seizures are a risk factor for later epilepsy and their etiology is known to be implicated in the outcome but, little is known about this issue in the subgroup of seizures symptomatic of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to describe the long term risk of epilepsy after electroencephalographic confirmed neonatal seizures symptomatic of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke.

Fetal hydrocephalus and neonatal stroke as the first presentation of protein C deficiency
Severe protein C-deficiency is a rare heritable thrombophilia of the newborn. Infants with biallelic PROC mutations present purpura fulminans and intracranial thromboembolism, while the prenatal onset of mutated heterozygotes remains unclear. We herewith present the first case of fetal ventriculomegaly and neonatal stroke associated with heterozygous PROC mutation. The infant was born to a healthy mother at 38 gestational weeks. The fetal growth had been normal, but the routine ultrasound screening had indicated mild hydrocephalus at 28weeks of gestation.

Mechanical thrombectomy for pediatric acute stroke and ventricular assist device
Certain pediatric populations have increased risk of ischemic strokes, including those with cardiac disease and those dependent on mechanical circulatory devices such as ventricular assist devices. Due to their need for chronic anticoagulation, patients with mechanical circulatory devices are not candidates for systemic thrombolysis and thus treatment of acute ischemic stroke is limited.

Challenges and research progress of the use of mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of ischemic stroke
Cerebral Ischemic Stroke (CIS) has become a hot issue in medical research because of the diversity of risk factors and the uncertainty of prognosis. In the field of regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an increasingly prominent position due to their advantages of multiple differentiation, low immunogenicity and wide application. In the basic and clinical research of CIS, there are still some problems to be solved in the treatment of CIS. This paper will discuss the progresses and some obstacles of current MSCs for the treatment of CIS.

An exploratory study to identify neonatal arterial ischemic stroke: A single-center study
Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) presents as seizures, including convulsions, subtle seizures, and apnea, and most patients experience neurological sequelae. Diagnosis is often delayed owing to low test sensitivity. The present study aimed to identify the early clinical diagnostic factors for NAIS in neonates with seizures.

MELAS phenotype associated with m.3302A>G mutation in mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) gene
Abstract: The m.3302A>G mutation in the mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) gene has been identified in only 12 patients from 6 families, all manifesting adult-onset slowly progressive myopathy with minor central nervous system involvement. An 11-year-old boy presented with progressive proximal-dominant muscle weakness from age 7years. At age 10, he developed recurrent stroke-like episodes. Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, plus stroke-like episodes (MELAS) was diagnosed by clinical symptoms and muscle biopsy findings. Mitochondrial gene analysis revealed a heteroplasmic m.3302A>G mutation. Histological exami...
