Stroke in children is a common clinical emergency and is one of the leading causes of disability and death in children. In children

focal neurological deficits are the main manifestation of stroke

but in the acute phase of the disease

it is sometimes difficult to distinguish them from other diseases that also present with focal neurological deficits

which may delay the diagnosis and treatment. In this paper

we present the risk factors

clinical manifestations

and imaging manifestations of different types of stroke in children

with the aim of improving clinicians understanding of the disease and helping them to recognize the disease early and treat patients in a timely manner.
