Abstract
The International Pediatric Stroke Study, a global research initiative of 149 co-investigators (30 centers in 10 countries), examined predictors of infarct characteristics and outcome in patients with clinical and neuroimaging confirmation of symptomatic arterial ischemic stroke (AIS).
Highlights
Researchers from University of Washington, Seattle, WA, and Washington University, St Louis, MO propose a genetic and biologic classification of infantile spasms
The peak age for ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage in children is in the first year of life, and one third of childhood stroke cases present in this age group
Many neonates with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) present with seizures, most do not develop epilepsy. (Roach ES, et al Stroke 2008;39: 2644-2691)
Summary
Researchers from University of Washington, Seattle, WA, and Washington University, St Louis, MO propose a genetic and biologic classification of infantile spasms. The peak age for ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage in children is in the first year of life, and one third of childhood stroke cases present in this age group. The International Pediatric Stroke Study, a global research initiative of 149 coinvestigators (30 centers in 10 countries), examined predictors of infarct characteristics and outcome in patients with clinical and neuroimaging confirmation of symptomatic arterial ischemic stroke (AIS).
