Although ischemic stroke in infants is not very common, it remains one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in children. One of the etiologies is Moyamoya disease, which remains a rare entity in Morocco. Management of this disease in the pediatric population remains precarious due to delayed diagnosis, given the diversity of clinical presentations and the lack of necessary technical means, such as MRI or angiography, allowing early diagnosis, as well as the lack of standardized international rehabilitation protocols and the absence of pediatric rehabilitation structures in underdeveloped countries. Through this case report of a four-month-old infant who suffered an ischemic stroke in a Moyamoya, we discuss the diagnostic difficulties and its rehabilitation challenges.
虽然婴儿缺血性中风并不常见，但它仍是儿童发病和死亡的原因之一。病因之一是烟雾病，在摩洛哥它仍然是一种罕见的疾病。由于临床表现多样且缺乏必要的技术手段（如MRI或血管造影）以进行早期诊断，以及缺乏标准化的国际康复方案且欠发达国家没有儿科康复机构，导致诊断延迟，儿科人群中这种疾病的管理仍然不稳定。通过这份关于一名4个月大患烟雾病缺血性中风婴儿的病例报告，我们讨论了诊断困难及其康复挑战。
