Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, and Prognosis of Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke in Children.
Anterior and posterior circulation strokes are often different in terms of presentation and recurrence risk, but there are few studies that focused on posterior circulation stroke. ⋯ Our hospital-based incidence and outcome data provide valuable information to help direct treatment strategies and prognosticate children with posterior circulation ischemic stroke. Our study calls for close observation and early management of children with posterior circulation stroke, in particular with aboriginal ancestry and bilateral and large artery territory infarction.
