According to the definition of "stroke" is because of cerebral vascular obstruction or rupture caused by a sudden or partial paroxysmal brain dysfunction or all of the. Stroke patients usually over the age of 50 patient-oriented. In recent years, more and more attention to the global medical community stroke study of children, the fetus in its mother's body, from newborns to adolescents, have the possibility of occurrence of stroke. In most people's concept that stroke is a disease of adults only, so when the doctor explained to the families of children suffering from stroke, the family members are surprised face, can not believe. In fact, stroke is not the child has only recently appeared in only the past were cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage such as that condition. To make it easier for the public understanding of stroke should be the child's name more popular.
Divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic two
Ischemic stroke is the sudden blockage of blood vessels; out hemorrhagic stroke is the main artery burst refers to the brain, causing brain hemorrhage. Ischemic stroke clinical manifestations and age and the affected region, when the language center are affected may not be able to speak or understand other people say, if the central campaign be affected, the symptoms appeared physically weak; performance by youths a neuron-specific abnormal symptoms, such as semi-paralysis, ataxia, or facial palsy, but in infants and young children who are often non-specific symptoms such as convulsions, fever, drowsiness or headache, and sometimes these symptoms and other the performance of similar diseases, together with infants and young children are not good at language expression, it is not easy at the beginning as soon as the diagnosis. Hemorrhagic stroke clinical performance and the affected region, but often accompanied by severe headache, vomiting, convulsions and even loss of consciousness.
Causes of stroke in children and adults of different
Most of the reasons middle-aged and elderly stroke and high blood lipids, hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases, and the children of many complex factors of stroke and the elderly and the different causes of stroke. Ischemic stroke, including common causes of abnormal blood vessels, heart disease, mitochondrial disorders, metabolic disorders, brain infections, the lack of anti-clotting factor and so on, these factors are likely to cause blood clots, blood vessel wall of the narrow, resulting in blood flow reduction. Hemorrhagic stroke, including common causes of congenital vascular anomaly, the lack of coagulation factors, such as brain trauma. The following common reasons for doing further introduction:
Heart disease: including congenital heart disease (such as atrial or ventricular septal defect, aortic stenosis, or complex congenital heart disease), as well as acquired heart disease (such as endocarditis, myocarditis, arrhythmia, an artificial heart valve), have may cause blood vessels in the artery type, and these patients engaged in cardiac catheterization or heart surgery also may cause blood clots.
Infection: bacterial, viral or caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis meningitis, can cause blood vessels in the brain. At present, children have been reported and stroke-related infections include: intestinal virus, chicken pox, Japanese encephalitis, influenza virus.
Blood diseases: congenital absence of anti-coagulation factors cause the formation of thrombus, and congenital lack of clotting factor, such as hemophilia clotting agents or acquired abnormalities, including systemic coagulation disorders, vitamin K deficiency, thrombocytopenia, liver disease, can cause hemorrhagic stroke.
Vascular disease: a mechanical head and neck injury, can cause carotid artery dissection, leading to ischemic stroke, for example, a water amusement park to the baby, due to the risk of head-down position away from the water slides down, resulting in right hemiplegia occurred. "Moyamoya disease" (Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebral vascular obstruction caused by an increase collateral circulation and neurological symptoms, a large part of the disease occurred in childhood can cause stroke, the brain child.) Is the good fat in Asians special cerebral vascular disease, will result in progressive brain artery stenosis and obstruction caused by large, often repeated clinical of transient ischemic attack performance, that is, the symptoms usually within 1 day of recovery, so easy to start be ignored.
Metabolic abnormalities: high-cystine urine disease itself angiogenesis in patients with non-performing, poor flexibility, and easy to form blood embolism, makes them at high risk of stroke. With the addition of the westernized diet, obesity and hyperlipidemia in the baby's problem was not uncommon, making the issue of early hardening of the arteries, it is increased risk of stroke.
Congenital vascular anomalies: arteriovenous malformation is the most common hemorrhagic stroke children, mainly the formation of the fetus, the brain microvascular dysplasia, the microvascular blood flow did not result directly into the vein and form a worm-like vascular malformation, When the vein can not afford such a high pressure will break down from the peak incidence of 12,13-year-old to 30-year-old, like possession of a time bomb in the body.
Infants and young children should be the prevention of stroke during the start
Causes of stroke in children and adults are not the same, so regardless of the method of treatment or diagnosis of the process are not the same. Patents are not the elderly stroke, congenital cause of stroke is more difficult to avoid, but some patients will have prior to the onset of aura. When the baby appeared in dizziness, headache and vomiting, difficulty in breathing, heart failure symptoms such as high blood pressure, but also a timely examination; Once there is a language unclear, the situation of half of limb weakness, but also for treatment immediately. In addition, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and eating habits in order to reduce the risk of stroke the day after tomorrow, are necessary. Therefore, infants and young children should be the prevention of stroke during the start!
