however, neurological sequelae remained in 2/3 of them. Twenty-six patients (14%) suffered from epilepsy.Conclusions: The etiology and risk factors of childhood stroke in our center were different from those reported in Western countries, in which the most common single etiology was MMD. The most common etiologies, such as infection in early infancy, MMD and cardiac disease in early childhood, MMD and prothrombotic condition in late childhood, and prothrombotic condition in adolescence, varied according to age group. Age should be considered when establishing a strategy to evaluate risk factors in childhood stroke. MS showed a poorer outcome and high recurrence rate. Among the etiologies/risk factors of AIS, inflammatory/postinfectious vasculopathy and MMD had a relatively more favorable outcome, and systemic vasculitis and MMD showed high recurrence rate.
