Cerebrovascular disease in children: II. Clinical aspects in 42 cases

We report the findings recorded in 42 children suffering cerebrovascular disease and assisted at the Hospital das Clinicas FCM-UNICAMP, over a 8 years period (January 1990 until April 1998). The ischemic type was the most common, and involvement of the middle cerebral artery, sudden onset of clinical manifestation with seizures and motor disability were more common in early aged children. Motor sequelae predominated in the follow-up of these children.573A59459
