Abstract
BACKGROUND: Paediatric stroke is a potentially life-threatening emergency and requires immediate treatment to improve clinical outcome. In contrast to adult treatment recommendations, little is known about safety and efficacy of thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy in children. CASE DESCRIPTION AND CONCLUSION: We report on a three-year-old boy with a cardioembolic intracranial two-vessel occlusion and successful therapy with thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Furthermore, this case emphasizes the need of standardized protocols for acute management of paediatric stroke.
