AB  - Stroke  refers  to  acute  vascular  events  involving  the  brain,  brainstem,  or  spinal  cord.  Subtypes  of  stroke  in  the  pediatric  population  include  arterial  ischemic  stroke  (AIS),  cerebral  sinovenous  thrombosis  (CSVT)  with  or  without  venous  infarction,  and  hemorrhagic  stroke  (HS).  By  age,  stroke  subtypes  can  be  further  subdivided  into  perinatal  (occurring  from  20  weeks  of  gestation  to  1  month  of  age  by  the  broadest  definition)  and  childhood  stroke  (occurring  from  1  month  to  18  years).1  AIS  is  defined  as  an  acute  neurological  deficit  of  any  duration  consistent  with  focal  brain  ischemia  conforming  to  an  arterial  distribution  (Figure  121-1)  and  evidence  of  infarction  on  neuroimaging.  A  transient  ischemic  attack  (TIA)  is  defined  as  focal  deficit(s)  in  a  vascular  territory  lasting  less  than  24  hours;  we  include  the  absence  of  infarction  on  neuroimaging  (restriction  of  water  diffusion)  in  this  definition.  CSVT  involves  thrombosis  of  the  superficial  or  deep  dural  venous  sinuses.  If  thrombosis  sufficiently  impedes  venous  drainage,  both  ischemic  and  hemorrhagic  infarction  can  occur.  Hemorrhagic  stroke  is  comprised  of  nontraumatic  intracerebral  hemorrhage  (ICH)  which  can  be  intraparenchymal  (IPH)  and/or  intraventricular  (IVH)  and  subarachnoid  hemorrhage  (SAH).
