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.
Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis is seen very often (38-87 %) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). With contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) we can detect more cases of TMJ arthritis than ever before. Previous studies show that HLA II class alleles may have protective or risk importance in JIA subtypes.
