Infantile basal ganglia stroke after mild head trauma associated with mineralizing angiopathy of lenticulostriate arteries: an under recognized entity. Abbreviation AIS Arterial ischemic stroke In 2014, Lingappa et al.1 described a distinct clinicoradiological stroke syndrome in children, which they called "mineralizing angiopathy". We propose that a subgroup of children with isolated idiopathic basal ganglia AIS after minor head injury have mineralizing angiopathy and warrant consideration of a non-contrast CT to demonstrate the calcifications. Three had silent basal ganglia infarcts detected at the time of acute presentation, four had basal ganglia hemorrhage, and three had parietal or thalamic calcifications (Fig. [Extracted from the article]
