Abstract
Cerebral arteriopathy is an increasingly recognized cause of arterial ischemic stroke in previously healthy children.1 Focal cerebral arteriopathy (FCA) is a recently coined term for focal cerebral arterial stenosis with no apparent cause, and excludes children with intracranial dissection, moyamoya, sickle cell arteriopathy, postvaricella arteriopathy, vasculitis, or other specific diagnoses.1 Stroke recurrence in children with all types of arteriopathy is high compared to those without arteriopathy, although recurrence risk specifically associated with FCA is unclear. Given the paucity of data, there is no consensus regarding management of childhood stroke associated with FCA.
