Abstract
- Pediatric stroke is unfortunately not a rare condition. It is associated with severe disability and mortality because of the complexity of potential clinical manifestations, and the resulting delay in seeking care and in diagnosis. Neuroimaging plays an important role in the multidisciplinary response for pediatric stroke patients. The rapid development of adult endovascular thrombectomy has created a new momentum in health professionals caring for pediatric stroke patients. Neuroimaging is critical to make decisions of identifying appropriate candidates for thrombectomy. This review article will review current neuroimaging techniques, imaging work-up strategies and special considerations in pediatric stroke. For resources limited areas, recommendation of substitute imaging approaches will be provided. Finally, promising new techniques and hypothesis-driven research protocols will be discussed.
