Etiological and clinical analysis on 220 children with cerebrovascular diseases

Abstract

Etiological and clinical analyses of 220 children with cerebrovascular diseases were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred and forty-nine cases (67.73%) were male, and 71 cases (32.27%) were female. There were 186 cases (84.55%) of patients to be found with clear causes, most of which were arteriovenous malformation (80/220, 36.36%), traumatic brain injury (38/220, 17.27%), intracranial infection (15/220, 6.82% ), intracranial aneurysm (13/220, 5.91% ), delayed vitamin K deficiency (12/220, 5.45% ), congenital heart disease (9/220, 4.09%) and cavernous malformation (7/220, 3.18%). The etiological and clinical features of children cerebrovascular diseases are distinct, and timely diagnosis and treatment will help to improve patients' prognosis. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2014.03.017
