Genetic Risk Factors for Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke
Abstract: The cause of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke is unknown in most cases. We explored whether genetic polymorphisms modify the risk of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. In a population-based case-control study of 1997-2002 births at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, we identified 13 white infants with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. Control subjects included 86 randomly selected white infants. We genotyped polymorphisms in nine genes involved in inflammation, thrombosis, or lipid metabolism previously linked with stroke, and compared genotype frequencies in case and control individuals. We tested sever...

Childhood Stroke: Results of 130 Children From a Reference Center in Central Anatolia, Turkey
Conclusion: Tuberculous meningitis is still a risk factor for arterial ischemic stroke in Turkey. Arterial ischemic stroke in the first year of life and recurrent arterial ischemic stroke represent poor prognostic features.

Sensitivity and Specificity of an Adult Stroke Screening Tool in Childhood Ischemic Stroke
There are frequent delays in the diagnosis of acute pediatric ischemic stroke. A screening tool that could increase the suspicion of acute ischemic stroke could aid early recognition and might improve initial care. An earlier study reported that children with acute ischemic stroke have signs that can be recognized with two adult stroke scales. We tested the hypothesis that an adult stroke scale could distinguish children with acute ischemic stroke from children with acute focal neurological deficits not due to stroke.

Stroke in Children With Cancer: The Tip of the Iceberg?
We read with great interest the article by Noje et al. in which they analyzed the incidence and characteristics of stroke in children with cancer. Among a population of 1411 children with cancer, during a 10-year period registry, 15 children had stroke, corresponding to an overall prevalence of 1%. A slightly increased prevalence of stroke in children with brain tumors was documented (1.3%). The occurrence of stroke in children with brain tumors is potentiated by cranial radiation therapy. We are currently following a cohort of 103 adult survivors of childhood primary central nervous system tumors in our neurooncology c...

Harnessing Neuroimaging Capability in Pediatric Stroke: Proceedings of the Stroke Imaging Laboratory for Children (SILC) Workshop
On June 5th, 2015 the International Pediatric Stroke Study and the Stroke Imaging Laboratory for Children (SILC) co-hosted a unique workshop focused on developing neuroimaging research in pediatric stroke. Pediatric neurologists, neuroradiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, physicists, nurse practitioners, neuropsychologists and imaging research scientists from around the world attended this one-day meeting. Our objectives were to: i) establish a group of experts to collaborate in advancing pediatric neuroimaging for stroke, ii) develop consensus clinical and research MRI protocols for pediatric stroke patients, an...

Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke in Children With Cancer
Abstract: Background: Adult survivors of childhood cancer have an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease; little is known about early stroke risk in childhood cancer. Our objectives were to assess stroke prevalence in children with cancer, to establish cancer and stroke type, and to determine if modifiable risk factors for stroke were present.Methods: Children with stroke and cancer were compared with all children seen for cancer at a single institution between 2000 and 2009. An International Classification of Disease, 9th version, code search and search of existing pediatric oncology and stroke databases identified children

Hippocampal Volume and Memory Performance in Children With Perinatal Stroke
Conclusions: These findings support the view that, in the developing brain, the left and right hippocampi preferentially support verbal and nonverbal memory respectively, a consistent finding in the adult literature but a subject of debate in the pediatric literature. This is the first work to report that children with focal brain injury incurred from perinatal stroke have volume reduction in the hippocampus and impairments in certain aspects of declarative memory.

Mitochondrial Encephalopathy With Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like Episodes (MELAS) May Respond to Adjunctive Ketogenic Diet
Conclusions: The ketogenic diet may lead to improvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in MELAS, which in turn may promote better seizure control and less frequent stroke-like episodes.

Neuroimaging perspectives of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke
Perinatal stroke is second only to adult stroke in the overall stroke incidence. It is a major contributor to long term neurologic morbidity which include cognitive dysfunction, cerebral palsy and seizures. Risk factors of stroke in the perinatal period differs from those in children and tend to be multi-factorial. Differences in territorial predilection, response to injury and stroke evolution exist when compared to childhood and adult stroke, and also amongst differing gestation age groups in the perinatal period (i.e.

Cardiac Myxoma Causing Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Pediatric Patient and a Review of Literature
Conclusions: Cardiac myxoma should be considered in any child presenting with ischemic stroke, and transient skin findings may provide an important diagnostic clue prior to onset of neurological symptoms.
