Abstract
Arterial ischemic stroke in childhood and adolescence is one of the most time-critical emergencies in pediatrics. Nevertheless, it is often diagnosed with a considerable time delay which may be associated with low awareness, the sometimes nonspecific clinical presentation with a wide variety of differential diagnoses, and less established 'acute care structures'. The revascularisation strategies in adult stroke care are also potential and promising treatment options for children, even if available evidence is still limited. In the post-acute phase, the etiological work-up is complex due to the multitude of risk factors to be considered. But it is essential to identify each child's individual risk profile as it determines secondary prevention, risk of recurrence and outcome. Long-term care in a multiprofessional, interdisciplinary team must take into account the bio-psycho-social aspects to integrate the child into its social and educational, and later professional environment.
