Abstract

About 3% of cerebral infarcts occur in children and young individuals, and pediatric stroke is even less common. Cerebral infarcts in children have different etiologies compared to adults. The common causes are described, as well as sinus venous occlusions. Cerebral veno occlusive disease is an elusive, often underdiagnosed cause of acute neurologic deterioration.
