Strokes are uncommon in children but devastating when they occur. The basic principles needed for understanding these syndromes are the same as those that pertain to adults; however, the etiologic factors are quite different. As diagnostic techniques improve, fewer diagnoses of childhood stroke remain in the category of acute infantile hemiplegia. This trend is most important, because specific therapy, when available, of underlying conditions can prevent recurrent strokes.
中风在儿童中并不常见，但一旦发生则具有毁灭性。理解这些综合征所需的基本原则与成人相同；然而，病因却大不相同。随着诊断技术的进步，儿童中风中归类为急性婴儿偏瘫的诊断越来越少。这一趋势最为重要，因为针对潜在病症的特效疗法（如果可用）可以预防中风复发。
