What are common disorders related to cerebral vasculature in pediatrics?
Several disorders can affect the cerebral vasculature in children. These include:
Stroke: Although rare in children, strokes can occur due to congenital heart defects, infections, or trauma. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs): Abnormal connections between arteries and veins that can lead to hemorrhage. Moyamoya disease: A condition characterized by the narrowing of the internal carotid arteries, leading to stroke or transient ischemic attacks. Cerebral aneurysms: Bulging blood vessels that can rupture and cause bleeding in the brain.
