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.
