Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease in childhood is rare. The risk factors for cerebrovascular disease in children are different from the adults. Finding the etiology of cerebrovascular disease in children is important because the recurrence risk and mortality can be reduced. In this study, etiology of 27 children with cerebrovascular disease were reviewed retrospectively.
