title: [Ischemic cerebrovascular strokes in childhood].
abstract: BACKGROUND. Cerebrovascular attacks are a very frequent disease in adults and in particular in the elderly. In postneonatal child age they are very rare. In all age groups ischaemic attacks predominate over haemorrhagic ones. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the clinical picture and severity of residual affection in children, to attempt to find risk factors for the development of these attacks and to compare them with risks in the adult population. Diagnostic methods, incl. their advantages and disadvantages, are described. METHODS AND RESULTS. Twelve attacks in 10 children hospitalized in the course of 10 years were analyzed retrospectively. A more frequent incidence in boys, a predominance of attacks in the carotid region, more frequent affection of the left hemisphere, clinical picture and etiology-all is consistent with data in the literature.
