Pediatric Stroke

Pediatric stroke occurs when blood flow to part of a child's brain is disrupted, leading to damage. This can happen due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). Symptoms may include sudden weakness, difficulty speaking, or loss of coordination. Stroke in children is less common than in adults but can be caused by various factors, such as congenital heart defects, blood disorders, or head trauma. Quick recognition and medical intervention are crucial for better outcomes. Pediatric strokes require specialized care to address the unique needs of children and support their recovery.
