Infantile basal ganglia stroke after mild head trauma

Abstract

A 13-month-old boy presented to our hospital with a history of right hemiparesis and right facial paresis for 2 days. These symptoms occurred several hours after a fall from a bed to the ground. An MRI of the brain showed an ischemic lesion and cerebral ultrasound examinations demonstrated bilaterally hyperechogenic lenticulostriate arteries (figure).
