1. Stroke may present with seizures in newborns and even older kids
2. Paroxysmal or stuttering episodes ppt by HV is typical for Moyà Moyà
3. In newborn, consider maternal factors (HTN, DM), perinatal factors, neonatal factors (congenital heart disease, dehydration, infection), and PLACENTAL vasculopathy
4. ACCP recommends against the use of alteplace in pediatric stroke outside clinical trials
5. In Toronto, UFH is used for AIS regardless of mechanism
6. The syndrome of transient cerebral arteriopathy of childhood is a well defined unilateral focal arteriopathy presumably of inflammatory origin. Features include irregular stenosis at carotid T junction. Varicella angiopathy is similar and borrelia and bartonella are also reported. Treatment may include antithrombotics, high dose pulse steroids with long taper, and acyclovir. differential includes Moyà Moyà and dissection of the carotid.
