Prolonged or recurrent acute seizures after pediatric arterial ischemic stroke are associated with increasing epilepsy risk
AimTo determine epilepsy risk factors after pediatric stroke. MethodA cohort of children with arterial ischemic stroke (birth–18y) was enrolled at 21 centers and followed for 1 year. Acute seizures (≤7d after stroke) and active epilepsy (at least one unprovoked remote seizure plus maintenance anticonvulsant at 1y) were identified. Predictors were determined using logistic regression. ResultsAmong 114 patients (28 neonates and 86 children) enrolled, 26 neonates (93%) and 32 children (37%) had an acute seizure. Acute seizures lasted longer than 5 minutes in 23 patients (40%) and were frequently recurrent: 33 (57%) had 2 ...

Psychosocial function in the first year after childhood stroke
This study aims to describe psychosocial function within the first year after childhood stroke, and to identify factors associated with outcome. MethodThirty‐seven children were involved in a prospective, longitudinal study investigating recovery over the first year after childhood stroke. Children's social functioning was assessed at 6‐months and 12‐months poststroke and psychological function at 12‐months poststroke, using standardized measures. ResultsMean social function was poorer at both 6‐months and 12‐months poststroke, compared to prestroke. Psychological problems were more common than expected, with e...

Neurocognitive outcomes in children with unilateral basal ganglia arterial ischemic stroke and secondary hemidystonia.
We examined intellectual function, academics, and several aspects of executive function in children with unilateral basal ganglia stroke during childhood, comparing those with dystonia and those without. Although groups did not differ in terms of lesion size, we found significantly lower performance on measures of verbal and nonverbal reasoning, inhibitory control, and academic ability in children with secondary dystonia compared to those without. In contrast, there were no significant group differences on parent ratings of their child's executive function in daily life. These findings suggest that maladaptive reorganizati...

Early predictors of psychosocial functioning 5 years after paediatric stroke
This study aimed to evaluate psychosocial outcomes in children 5 years after paediatric stroke and explore the contribution of early presenting factors. MethodThirty‐one children (19 males and 12 females) with arterial ischemic stroke were involved in this prospective, longitudinal study. Children underwent intellectual assessment at 12 months poststroke and parents completed questionnaires rating their own mental health and their child's functioning at 12 months and 5 years poststroke. ResultsAt 5‐year follow‐up, psychological and social function were significantly poorer than normative expectations. Exploration of ...

Executive function following pediatric stroke. A systematic review.
DISCUSSION: Our results highlight the importance to assess EF following pediatric stroke. Early identification of difficulties in EF is crucial to provide adequate training to the children and to prevent the development of other correlated difficulties, such as behavioral problems or learning difficulties. Methodological issues regarding the heterogeneity of samples and measurement difficulties limit the conclusions that can be made about the clinical predictors of the outcomes. Studies are needed to better understand this aspect and to develop adequate EF interventions for children following stroke. PMID: 32969322 [P...

Learning and memory profiles in youth with perinatal stroke: a study of the Child and Adolescent Memory Profile (ChAMP)
This study sought to evaluate the clinical utility of the Child and Adolescent Memory Profile (ChAMP) in quantifying memory performance in youth with perinatal stroke. Children and adolescents aged 6-16 years old with a history of perinatal stroke (PS; n = 41) completed two subtests from the ChAMP (Lists and Objects). Age, sex, and ethnicity-matched healthy control (HC) data were obtained from the test publisher's standardization data set. Participants with a history of PS performed significantly worse (p < .05) with medium effect size (ƞp2 ≥ .06) than HC on the ChAMP Screening Index and on all ChAMP Lists and Object...

Post-stroke acquired childhood aphasia. A scoping review
Child Neuropsychol. 2022 Dec 22:1-26. doi: 10.1080/09297049.2022.2156992. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAphasia has a great impact on children's lives, with stroke being its most common and studied etiology. However, our knowledge about this disorder is limited, the studies on this topic are sparse, and a consensus regarding its definition is lacking. In particular, the interpretation of this condition varied over time: from the rigid description of the so-called "standard doctrine" to the adoption of adult models for post-stroke aphasia. Therefore, this review provides a critical overview of childhood aphasia after stroke...
