Objective: Focal cerebral arteriopathy is a term used to describe unilateral intracranial arteriopathy involving the distal internal carotid artery and proximal segments of the middle and anterior cerebral artery. We describe the disease course of 10 pediatric arterial ischemic stroke patients with focal cerebral arteriopathy from a single quaternary-care center.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed pediatric stroke patients with focal cerebral arteriopathy without lenticulostriate collaterals treated at our institution between 2005 and 2014.
