Background And Purpose: Childhood arterial ischemic stroke is frequently associated with an intracranial arteriopathy that often progresses in the first 3 to 6 months post stroke. We hypothesized that children with enhancing arteriopathies on vessel wall imaging (VWI) would have a higher risk of arteriopathy progression than those without enhancement.
Methods: Our institutional radiographic database was searched for cases of childhood stroke with VWI.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on pediatric cortical vein thrombosis (CVT), a rare type of cerebral sinovenous thrombosis, and examines its clinical features compared to cases without CVT.
- Researchers reviewed cases of children diagnosed with cerebral sinovenous thrombosis, identifying significant differences in symptoms, imaging results, and outcomes for those with CVT.
- Results indicate that CVT is linked to a higher likelihood of seizures, hemorrhage, restricted diffusion, and worse long-term neurological outcomes, highlighting the need for more awareness and management strategies for this condition in children.
Children's guilt associated with transgressions and their capacity for effortful control are both powerful forces that inhibit disruptive conduct. The authors examined how guilt and effortful control, repeatedly observed from toddlerhood to preschool age, jointly predicted children's disruptive outcomes in 2 multimethod, multitrait longitudinal studies (Ns = 57 and 99). Disruptive outcomes were rated by mothers at 73 months (Study 1) and mothers, fathers, and teachers at 52 and 67 months (Study 2).
