[Clinical and neuroimaging signs of cardioembolic stroke in children].

Aim: To study clinical and neuroimaging signs of cardioembolic stroke (CES) in children.

Material And Methods: A group of 100 patients with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), aged from 1 month to 15 years, was stratified into the main group (10 patients with CES) and the comparison group (90 patients with other subtypes of AIS). CT and MRI, MR-angiography, ultrasound study as well as assessment of clinical symptoms on PedNIHSS were performed.

[Clinical and neuroimaging signs of cardioembolic stroke laboratory in children].

Aim: To study clinical and neuroimaging signs of cardioembolic stroke (CES) in children.

Material And Methods: Ten children (mean age 3.5±3.

[Arterial ischemic stroke in children with mild head trauma].

Aim: To study the relationship between mild head trauma (MHT) and arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in children.

Material And Methods: We examined 81 patients with AIS, aged from 1 month to 15 years. The sample was stratified into two groups: patients with AIS caused by MHT (main group) and patients without MHT (comparison group).

[Ophthalmologic symptomatology in children with periventricular leucomalation].

Ophthalmologic symptoms were analyzed in 76 children with periventricular leucomalation (PL). Clinical or functional ophthalmic disorders were detected in 100% of patients. Changes in the optic nerve disc were diagnosed in 93.

[Neuro-ophthalmological and radiological signs of Aicardi syndrome].

Described in the paper are the results of ophthalmologic, ultrasound and radiological examinations of 3 girls with the Aicardi syndrome. It was for the first time, that an expansion of the optic-nerve disk excavation was described in patients with the above syndrome; such expansion was conditioned by trans-synaptic neuron degeneration induced by lesions to optic radiation in view of prenatal of encephaloplastic processes. The changing brain white substance as projected by optic radiation was detected in all children by computer and magnetic resonance tomography.
