AbstractStroke is a rare but increasingly recognized disorder in children. Lack of published clinical trials and experience in most institutions has resulted in significant challenges for clinicians who manage children with stroke. We report a case of 16-year-old male child who was presented with history of sudden onset of weakness 2 months back and before he could consult the physician, the weakness improved significantly and a misdiagnosis of functional disorder was made at a peripheral hospital. Children with stroke may have subtle manifestations and to make an early diagnosis of stroke in children there is need of awareness about this entity in children.
