A paediatric stroke is a rare entity that can occur at any age. It may be arterial or venous, ischemic or haemorrhagic, and may occur in the neonatal or paediatric stage of life, as well as in adolescence. Prompt diagnosis means that adequate treatment can be administered and prevents recurrence, minimising the percentage of sequelae.

- Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are structural brain abnormalities that occur during fetal development and can lead to various neurological conditions like epilepsy, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments.
- There are several types of MCDs, such as microcephaly, hemimegalencephaly, and lissencephaly, each with different presentations and causes, which makes diagnosis challenging.
- Advances in molecular biology and genetic testing have improved understanding of the genetic factors behind MCDs, aiding in prognosis, predicting treatment outcomes, and evaluating recurrence risks for affected individuals.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to develop and implement a novel Hemispheric Surgical Score to guide the treatment of pediatric patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD). Additionally, we aimed to describe a comprehensive flowchart for the evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of these patients and to share our experience with the interdisciplinary management of a large pediatric cohort at a referral pediatric hospital.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study using medical records of patients diagnosed with MMD at the Pediatric Hospital "Prof.
Despite advances in the identification and recognition of risk factors for pediatric arterial ischemic stroke, little progress has been made in hyperacute treatment. The most frequent risk factors are arteriopathies, cardiopathies, and thrombophilia. Early confirmation with neuroradiological studies is key to consider reperfusion therapies, which have limited evidence in pediatrics but a good safety profile.

Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted of a series of patients diagnosed with WS who developed LGS seen at Hospital de Pediatría Prof. Dr.
