Clinical and neuroimaging insights into childhood arterial ischemic stroke of different ages

AIS in children is male-predominant, and there is significant diagnostic delay in both NAIS and PAIS. NAIS and PAIS differ in clinical and neuroimaging manifestations, and risk factors. Notably, we also noted that the actual prevalence of AIS in children, and the diagnosis of certain risk factors, may be underestimated. Education and training will be necessary in both layperson and healthcare settings. Furthermore, prospective studies are required to explore this hypothesis.
