AB  - Stroke  is  a  rare  cause  of  childhood  morbidity  and  mortality.  Vascular  emergencies  result  from  disruption  of  the  arterial  supply  or  venous  return  leading  to  energy  failure  and  cell  death.  Acute  development  of  a  focal  neurologic  deficit  is  the  hallmark  of  clinical  presentation,  although  age  and  comorbid  clinical  findings  may  obscure  the  diagnosis.  Children  have  higher  rates  of  acute  seizures  and  headaches  complicating  stroke  presentation.  The  risk  factors  promoting  ischemia  and  hemorrhage  vary  in  the  fetus,  neonate,  child,  and  adolescent,  making  the  diagnostic  workup  challenging  and  broad  in  these  diseases.  Evidence  supporting  hyperacute  treatment  of  vascular  emergencies  in  children  remains  incomplete,  with  uncertainties  about  the  safety  and  implementation  of  strategies  used  in  adults  with  similar  pathology.  Throughout  this  disease,  the  affected  child  requires  expertise  from  child  neurologists  familiar  with  stroke  management  and  the  resulting  complications  of  developmental  delay,  cerebral  palsy,  epilepsy,  cognitive  difficulties,  and  neurobehavioral  symptoms.
