[Diagnostics of ischemic stroke in children: a literature review and an analysis of clinical cases].
Ischemic stroke in children is a multidisciplinary problem which is based on various etiological factors. The establishment of diagnosis is complex and demands, besides the ascertainment of cerebral infarction by neuroimaging methods, the use of different tests for determination of the main disease. In Russia, the causes of IS in children are elucidated in about 40% of cases. The most plausible causes of the restricted diagnostics are the insufficient knowledge of physicians about etiological factors of this disease, absence of diagnostic standards and poor economic and technical support of municipal medical centers for children that do not allow the timely examination of patients in accordance with a brain stroke diagnostic algorithm. Two cases demonstrating as the variety of etiological factors in IS in children as well as the obvious restriction of diagnostic search are presented.
