Spinal strokes in children

Abstract

In most neurological hospitals, spinal strokes are still rare, although the acute development of the disease, the ability to localize the lesion in the spinal cord, and knowledge of some basic features of this disease make the diagnosis of spinal circulation disorders uncomplicated even in outpatient settings. A certain role is probably played by the long-standing prejudice that spinal strokes do not exist at all. There is no information about this pathology in textbooks and manuals on neurology even ten years ago. As for the possibility of spinal strokes in children, this assumption may seem implausible. But, unfortunately, spinal strokes in children do exist and are relatively not that rare. Knowing how to recognize them allows us to start immediate adequate therapy and only then can good results be achieved.
