| Abstract | ||||
| Stroke is described as a neurological impairment resulting from the occlusion or rupture of cerebral blood vessels. It may present as ischemic, hemorrhagic insult, or a combination of both. Ischemic stroke is classified into arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in addition to cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT), while hemorrhagic stroke (HS) encloses intracerebral, intraventricular, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Pediatric stroke is categorized by age as childhood stroke that occurs between the age of 29 days and 18 years, while perinatal stroke occurring before 29 days of age. This study will not cover the perinatal stroke. Pediatric stroke ranks among the top ten causes of childhood mortality, resulting in substantial long-term disabilities and significant socio-economic impacts. The pediatric stroke diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed due to its rarity, lack of awareness, and the complexity of differential diagnosis. AIM: The aim of our study was to assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluation of pediatric stroke with emphasis on radiological findings & correlation with the underlying risk factors. PATIENT AND METHODS: Patients: This study was performed on 20 pediatric stroke patients referred to the radio-diagnosis and pediatric departments in Alexandria University Hospital; The diagnosis was established based on the clinical presentation in combination with brain imaging. | ||||
