AB  - Stroke  in  the  pediatric  population  is  a  rare  yet  devastating  occurrence.  Ischemic  and  hemorrhagic  strokes  result  in  the  loss  of  neurologic  function  of  the  corresponding  injured  regions  of  the  brain.  It  is  a  common  cause  of  neonatal  seizures  and  cerebral  palsy,  and  stroke  often  leads  to  permanent  cognitive  and  motor  deficits.  Stroke  is  often  underrecognized  in  children,  particularly  during  the  acute  period.  Prompt  recognition  and  treatment  may  potentially  reduce  morbidity  and  mortality  rates.  Research  on  this  disease  in  areas  of  treatment  and  management  is  necessary  to  improve  outcomes  in  children  afflicted  with  stroke.  This  chapter  reviews  the  clinical  manifestations  of  stroke  in  neonates  and  children,  and  it  describes  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  interventions  to  aid  in  establishing  the  etiology  of  stroke  and  to  potentially  decrease  the  risk  of  morbidity  and  risk  of  stroke  recurrence.
