Description

Strokes are rare in pediatric patients, as 75% of stroke patients are 65 years or older. Risk factors for stroke in children are the same as in adults, including hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia; however, congenital heart disease and hematologic conditions like sickle cell disease are more common causes for pediatric strokes. Approximately 80% of pediatric cases have an identified cause, but this case report describes a 12 year-old female who had an ischemic stroke of an unknown etiology.
