Pediatric hemorrhagic stroke is a rare type of stroke that occurs in children and is caused by bleeding in the brain.

The incidence of pediatric hemorrhagic stroke is estimated to be less than 1% of all pediatric strokes. Incomplete embolization is a significant risk factor for bleeding in AVMs treated after a hemorrhagic stroke. Embolization with curative intent is as effective as surgery treating such lesions as adjuvant embolization with careful patient selection ¹⁾

It can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions such as hypertension, brain tumors, and bleeding disorders. Symptoms of pediatric hemorrhagic stroke can include headache, vomiting, seizures, difficulty speaking or moving, and loss of consciousness. Treatment for pediatric hemorrhagic stroke typically involves managing the underlying cause of the bleeding and providing supportive care to minimize brain damage. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove a brain tumor or repair a ruptured blood vessel.

The prognosis for pediatric hemorrhagic stroke can vary widely depending on the specific case and the child's overall health. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a favorable outcome ²⁾.
