Pediatric stroke is uncommon. A traumatic cause of pediatric ischemic stroke is even rarer. Ischemic stroke due to intraluminal thrombus can be acutely treated with thrombolysis but various factors in sub-Saharan Africa make this unfeasible. We present a case of an eight-year-old Tanzanian boy who sustained penetrating trauma to his palate developing an ischemic stroke of his right middle cerebral artery territory.
小儿中风并不常见。小儿缺血性中风的创伤性病因更为罕见。腔内血栓导致的缺血性中风可通过溶栓进行急性治疗,但撒哈拉以南非洲的各种因素使其不可行。我们报告一例8岁坦桑尼亚男孩,其腭部遭受穿透性创伤,导致右大脑中动脉区域发生缺血性中风。
