Idiopathic ischemic infarction of the brain stem in children.

Abstract

Three cases of idiopathic brain-stem infarction are added to the literature on 12 children. There is no age predilection, and the youngest case is 3 years old. However, there is a striking male preponderance of 13:2. The residual neurological deficit covers the range of normal to quadriparesis. Laboratory studies investigating hypercoagulopathy, platelet dysfunction and atrial septal defect may provide an etiology for some cases in the future.
