Abstract

Strokes are being more frequently recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. Thrombotic strokes are rare in childhood and most of them are associated with non-atherosclerotic cerebral arteriopathies, which can be induced by genetic association like neurofibromatosis type 1. This case report illustrates this pathology, associated to an unusual vasculopathy of the common carotid artery, and reports the optimal management of a thrombotic stroke in an official European Stroke Center.
