Ischemic Stroke in Children with Critical Illness: A Poor Prognostic Sign
Publication
Publication
Pediatric Neurology , Volume 36 - Issue 4 p. 244- 246
A consecutive case series of 55 children (0-17 years old) with arterial ischemic stroke is reported. Twenty of these children were critically ill at the time their stroke occurred. Mortality among these 20 children was 40%, compared with 3% in non-critically ill children with arterial ischemic stroke; overall mortality in this case series was 16%. Mortality resulted primarily from the underlying illness. Prognosis after stroke is markedly worsened in children with premorbid critical illness.
