| مستخلص: | Identifying the etiology of childhood arterial ischemic stroke helps prevent stroke recurrence. In addition, stroke may herald a serious underlying condition requiring treatment, such as acquired heart disease, malignancy, or autoimmune disorder. Evidence-based guidelines exist for adults to identify and treat common risk factors for primary and secondary stroke, including hypertension, diabetes, elevated lipids, atrial fibrillation, and sleep apnea, which are rarely relevant in children. However, guidelines do not exist in pediatrics. Identifying the cause of childhood stroke may be straightforward or may require extensive clinical and neuroimaging expertise, serial evaluations, and reassessment based on the evolving clinical picture. Risk factors may be present but not necessarily causative, or not causative until a triggering event such as infection or anemia occurs. Herein, we describe strategies to determine stroke etiology, including challenges and potential pitfalls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
