Article Synopsis
- Studies show endovascular treatment (EVT) is effective for adult strokes, but its use in children is still debated due to a lack of clear guidelines.
- A case report details a 9-year-old boy who developed sudden left-sided weakness after being admitted for gastroenteritis, later diagnosed with acute ischemia in the cerebellum caused by a basilar artery thrombus.
- The patient received EVT 8.5 hours after symptom onset, leading to successful recovery and rehabilitation, with complete neurological restoration after six months, even though the stroke's cause remained unclear.
