Abstract
The causes of stroke in the children are varied. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally accepted as the study of choice for definitive diagnosis of ischemic injury. However, often times MRI is not immediately available in the acute setting. This review highlights some of the major causes of stroke in children and the current role of computed tomography (CT), and more specifically, CT angiography in the pediatric setting.
