    BackgroundOwing to the rarity of acute ischemic stroke in the pediatric population, evidence supporting the efficacy in children of the various treatments used in adults is scanty. This included mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.Case Descriptionwe present the case of an 11-year-old female with acute left hemiparesis, numbness, and left facial droop occurring after tumbling on a trampoline. Computed tomography angiography revealed an 11-mm nonfilling defect in the right middle cerebral artery. She underwent thrombectomy approximately 8.5 hours after the onset of symptoms, and a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale score of 2b was achieved. She had an uneventful postoperative recovery.ConclusionPediatric patients likely have more reserve and collateral flow and benefit from a longer therapeutic window following acute ischemic stroke.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
