AIM: To study the relationship between mild head trauma (MHT) and arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined 81 patients with AIS, aged from 1 month to 15 years. The sample was stratified into two groups: patients with AIS caused by MHT (main group) and patients without MHT (comparison group). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the results of clinical and instrumental studies, we identified the relationship between AIS and MHT. The main group was characterized by the following features: moderate severity in the acute period, stabilization within 7 days, isolated subcortical localization of ischemic lesion, no MRI-signs of steno-occlusive cerebral arteriopathy and a trend towards the risk of recurrent strokes.
