ABSTRACT

Introducción: los accidentes cerebrovasculares son raros en niños, y generalmente se asocian a trombofilias; sin embargo, se deben considerar procesos infecciosos de tipo miocarditis infecciosa que pudieran conducir a formación de trombos. Presentación del caso: se presenta el caso de un niño de 13 meses de edad, previamente sano, con evidencia de accidente cerebrovascular isquémico extenso, que comprometió ambos hemisferios cerebrales, con antecedente de infección gastrointestinal que podría sugerir sepsis y miocarditis secundaria a esta, que contribuye a un evento trombótico, el cual, probablemente, desencadenó el proceso cerebrovascular descrito. Conclusiones: las infecciones, aunque se han relacionado como la tercera causa de eventos cerebrovasculares, se deben tener en cuenta para así instaurar tratamiento antibiótico oportuno, y con esto, evitar secuelas(AU)


Introduction: cerebrovascular accidents are rare in children, and they are generally associated with thrombophilia. However, infectious processes such as myocarditis should also be considered, for they may lead to thrombus formation. Case presentation: a previously healthy 13-month-old male child presents with evidence of extensive ischemic cerebrovascular accident compromising both cerebral hemispheres, with a history of gastrointestinal infection which might suggest the presence of sepsis and myocarditis secondary to it contributing to a thrombotic event which probably triggered the cerebrovascular process herein described. Conclusions: although they have been ranked as the third cause of cerebrovascular events, infections should be taken into account so as to timely indicate the appropriate antibiotic treatment and avoid the occurrence of sequels(AU)
