title: [Hemorrhagic strokes in children: etiology and management].
abstract: Pediatric particularities and management of pediatric hemorrhagic strokes are reviewed. Etiologies of hemorrhagic strokes in children are quite different than in adults. Arterio-venous malformations are much more frequently encountered than aneurysms, cavernous malformations and other non structural causes. Modem imagery allows to diagnose the cause of the hemorrhage with a good security and the management is based on the association of neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology and radiosurgery. These cases must be handled in specialized tertiary care hospital where these three modalities of treatment are available 24 hours/day.
