Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of hyperacute reperfusion therapies for children suffering strokes related to Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) and associated focal cerebral arteriopathy (FCA).
- Two cases of pediatric strokes due to LNB were treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT), with both patients showing improved recovery and no reported side effects post-treatment.
- The literature review identified 12 similar cases, suggesting that LNB-related FCA should not preclude the use of reperfusion therapies, while also recommending aspirin for secondary stroke prevention.
