ROLE OF MRI IN STUDYING THE OUTCOME OF PAEDIATRIC STROKE.

Dr. Amit Disawal, Dr. Prateek Gandhi

Abstract


Objectives
The objective of the study was to study the role of MRI in studying the outcome of Paediatric stroke.
Materials and Methods
This was an observational study with a prospective design conducted in the department of Radio-diagnosis in a tertiary teaching hospital in Central India on cases of Paediatric stroke sent by the department of Paediatrics for MRI.
Results: A total of 60 cases were studied out of which 40 were males and 20 were females. Mean age of presentation was 5.96 years. Stroke more prevalent in males by 2:1. 50% were arterial ischemic strokes and 25% were hemorrhagic strokes while 17% were non-stroke or stroke mimickers. In the outcome, hemorrhagic stroke was more fatal with maximum death rate of 25% as against 10% in acute ischemic stroke. Rate of disability overall was 67% and recurrence was 18%.
