Strokes due to vertebral artery lesions are rare in children. We describe three new patients and compare them with the 16 other patients described in the literature. All of these patients are boys. Traumatic vertebral artery lesion at C1-2 level was the most common cause of stroke, and the prognosis for neurologic recovery was good. We suggest that vertebral artery disease be considered in boys with posterior circulation ischemia.
儿童因椎动脉病变导致的中风较为罕见。我们描述了三名新患者,并将他们与文献中描述的其他16名患者进行了比较。所有这些患者均为男性。C1-2水平的创伤性椎动脉病变是中风最常见的原因,神经功能恢复的预后良好。我们建议,对于有后循环缺血的男孩,应考虑椎动脉疾病。
