Case Report
Multiple Ischemic Strokes Associated with Childhood Progressive Radiation-Induced Occlusive Cerebral Vasculopathy
Authors
Abstract
There is little knowledge on the pathophysiology of pediatric stroke associated with radiation-induced occlusive cerebral vasculopathy (RIOCV). Herein, we present an extremely rare case of a child with multiple ischemic strokes in association with progressive RIOCV. The possibility of hemodynamic compromise and artery-to-artery embolism as a cause of the ischemic events is discussed.
