Abstract
An adult stroke scale is not sensitive or specific to distinguish children with acute ischemic stroke from those with nonstroke focal neurological deficits. The development of a pediatric acute ischemic stroke screening tool should include arm weakness and perhaps acute seizures as core elements. Such a scale must account for the limitations of language in young or intellectually disabled children.
