Endovascular thrombectomy for childhood stroke (Save ChildS Pro): an international, multicentre, prospective registry study.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that endovascular thrombectomy is beneficial for treatment of childhood stroke, but the safety and effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy has not been compared with best medical treatment. We aimed to prospectively analyse functional outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy versus best medical treatment in children with intracranial arterial occlusion stroke.

Methods: In this prospective registry study, 45 centres in 12 countries across Asia and Australia, Europe, North America, and South America reported functional outcomes for children aged between 28 days and 18 years presenting with arterial ischaemic stroke caused by a large-vessel or medium-vessel occlusion who received either endovascular thrombectomy plus best medical practice or best medical treatment alone.

Stroke is in the top ten causes of children death, ahead of brain tumors. Х-ray diagnostics development has significantly improved the detectability of pediatric stroke. The average incidence of cerebrovascular diseases in children was 13 per 100,000 children annually.

[Sturge-Weber syndrome in children. Clinical features, diagnosis and approaches to therapy on the example of three clinical cases].

Sturge-Weber syndrome belongs to the group of phacomotoses and is characterized by a combined lesion of the skin, eyes, nervous system and internal organs. The clinical course of Sturge-Weber syndrome is quite diverse. Of particular interest in the practice of pediatric neurology and neurosurgery is the fact that 72-90% of patients present with epilepsy.
