Cerebrovascular disease in children is more common than was once recognized. It is typically associated with an underlying anatomic anomaly or systemic disease. The most common underlying anomaly found with thrombotic or embolic stroke is congenital or acquired heart disease, while the most common predisposing factors to intracranial hemorrhage in children, other than trauma, are the leukemias and arteriovenous malformations. Many of the disorders associated with childhood stroke are treatable. Children tend to show more recovery after a stroke than adults do.
儿童脑血管疾病比以往认为的更为常见。它通常与潜在的解剖学异常或全身性疾病相关。血栓形成性或栓塞性中风最常见的潜在异常是先天性或后天性心脏病，而儿童颅内出血（外伤除外）最常见的诱发因素是白血病和动静脉畸形。许多与儿童中风相关的疾病是可以治疗的。儿童中风后的恢复往往比成人更好。
