Basilar artery strokes in children: good outcomes with conservative medical treatment
AimTo describe outcomes and outcome predictors in childhood basilar artery stroke (BAS).
MethodWe prospectively enrolled children with BAS with or without basilar artery occlusion (BAO) in the Toronto Children's Stroke Registry from 1992 to 2009. We assessed presenting features and outcomes including Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure scores.
ResultsAmong 578 children with acute arterial ischemic stroke, 27 had BAS (4.6% including neonates, 6% excluding neonates). Twenty‐four (14 males, 10 females) children met study criteria (mean age at stroke was 8y 10mo; range 0–17y). Eleven children had BAO. Aspirin or anticoagulati...

The epidemiology of intermittent and chronic ataxia in children in Manitoba, Canada
AimTo determine the epidemiology of chronic ataxia in children in Manitoba, Canada.
MethodA retrospective study using multiple sources and disease codes identified children (age 0–16y) with chronic ataxia (>2mo duration or recurrent episodes of ataxia) seen at Winnipeg Children's Hospital from 1991 to 2008. Patients with isolated peripheral nerve diseases, vestibular disorders, or brain tumors were excluded.
ResultsWe identified 184 patients (males=females; mean age 15y, SD 7y 8mo) with chronic ataxia. Median age at the presenting symptom onset was 1 year 3 months and at ataxia onset 3 years 1 month. Median durati...

Neonatal posterior cerebral artery stroke: clinical presentation, MRI findings, and outcome
AimTo report the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and follow‐up data of newborn infants with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke in the territory of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA).
MethodData on 18 newborn infants from three neonatal intensive care units (11 males, seven females) with an MRI‐confirmed PCA stroke were analysed and reported. Infants were born at a mean gestational age of 38.7 weeks (SD 3.4) with a mean birthweight of 3244g (SD 850).
ResultsFourteen infants presented with clinical seizures. Five of these had associated hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, four had hypog...

Reproducibility of two functional field exercise tests for children with cerebral palsy who self‐propel a manual wheelchair
AimThe aim of this study was to examine the test–retest reproducibility (reliability and agreement) of the 6‐minute push test (6MPT) and the one‐stroke push test (1SPT), and construct validity of the 6MPT in children with cerebral palsy (CP) who self‐propel a manual wheelchair.
MethodSeventy‐three children and adolescents with spastic CP (51 males, 22 females; mean age 11y 9mo, SD 3y 7mo, range 4–18y; three unilateral, 70 bilateral) using a manual wheelchair for at least part of the day were recruited from and tested in different rehabilitation settings in the Netherlands and Brazil. Participants were classifie...

How commonly do children with complex cerebral arteriopathy have renovascular disease?
AimTo describe the frequency of renovascular abnormalities and hypertension in an opportunistic cohort of children with complex cerebrovascular disease from a single tertiary/quaternary referral centre.
MethodThis was a retrospective case note and imaging review of children who had had cerebral and renal angiography, with a diagnosis of moyamoya or other occlusive cerebrovascular disease (OCVD). Hypertension was defined as at least three systolic blood pressure readings of the 95th centile or above.
ResultsOf 34 children (12 males, 22 females; median age 5y 11mo, range 2mo‐15y 3mo; 20 with moyamoya, 14 with OCVD), primar...

Association between radiographic Wallerian degeneration and neuropathological changes post childhood stroke
Aim Wallerian degeneration is a radiological finding thought to reflect corticospinal tract degeneration. This finding on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used as a predictor of poor prognosis in childhood stroke. However, its validity has never been established. Our objective was to correlate Wallerian degeneration seen on MRI with histopathology.
Method We searched the databases of the Department of Pathology and Children’s Stroke registry at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto for autopsy specimens exhibiting focal infarcts from children born at term who underwent MRI after a stroke. The specime...
