Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke in childhood is a medical emergency. Prompt recognition and intervention is necessary to rescue potentially viable brain tissue, prevent complications, and minimize the risk of recurrent stroke. Conditions that could result in recurrent stroke such as cardiac thrombus or cervical artery dissection need to be identified and treated promptly. Although the care of childhood stroke is based largely on extrapolation from adults, an organized approach to the care of these children is critical to optimize outcome.
