Abstract
Recurrent Strokes etiologies include Moya Moya syndrome, Cardioembolic and prothrombotic conditions. Recurrence has been described in Mineralizing Angiopathy and Basal Ganglia Stroke earlier.
Aims – To describe risk factors for recurrence and motor outcomes
Methods – Children with Mineralizing angiopathy on follow up after first stroke who experienced second stroke or who already had evidence of bilateral stroke at first presentation
Results- 9 of 95 across two centres had recurrent stroke, Five previously published (ref 1). We describe four cases in this paper.
Case 1 First presentation with stroke 16 month of age . Asymptomatic old stroke one side and acute stroke on another side. child had been diagnosed with opseudohyperparathyroidism at 9 months of age. Normal at 4 year age
Case 2: 20 month old with right hemiparesis. Had Previous similar stroke 3 months back with complete recovery. 1 year follow up child had mild residual hemiparesis.
Case 3: 24 months old boy with a trivial fall and right side hemiparesis. History of fall from sofa 6 months ago followed by hemiparesis. 1 year follow up no further recurrence.
Case 4- First presentation at 14 months of age with hemiparesis after minor fall and recovered in 2 months. Recurrence of episode after minor fall at 19 month. Mild residual hemiparesis at 3 yr 2 months
Conclusion- recurrent stroke in Mineralizing Angiopathy with basal ganglia stroke was seen in 9.4%(9/95). 8/9 were secondary to fall with good long term recovery.
