Abstract

Structural vascular lesions are the biggest risk factor for spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage in children and many concomitant factors can trigger parenchymal hemorrhage. If neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage and traumatic lesions are excluded, cerebral hemorrhage is more common than ischemic infarct in childhood. Atherosclerotic disease, ischemic heart disease and hemorrhages caused by hypertension are frequently seen in adults but infectious and inflammatory causes of stroke is more common in children. Although primary Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection usually causes infectious mononucleosis in patients who developed neurologic complications of EBV infection, usually clinical findings of infectious mononucleosis can not be detected. In this report, we presented a 13-year-old girl with acute hemorrhagic stroke accompanied by central venous angioma and concomitant asymptomatic acute EBV infection. Though rarely seen infectious etiology of stroke should be considered in childhood stroke cases.

Özet

Çocuklarda spontan intrakranial kanamalarda yapısal vasküler lezyonlar en büyük risk faktörüdür ve birçok eşlik eden durum parankimal kanamayı tetikleyebilir. Neonatal intraventriküler hemoraji ve travmatik lezyonlar dışlandığında, çocukluk çağında serebral hemoraji iskemik infarkttan daha sık görülür. Aterosklerotik hastalık, iskemik kalp hastalığı ve hipertansiyona bağlı intrakranial kanama erişkinde sık görülürken, infeksiyöz ve inflamatuvar nedenlere bağlı strok çocuklarda daha sıktır. Primer Ebstein Barr virüs ( EBV) infeksiyonu, genellikle infeksiyöz mononükleozise neden olmakla birlikte, EBV infeksiyonuna bağlı nörolojik komplikasyon gelişen olgularda genellikle infeksiyöz mononükleozis kliniği saptanamamaktadır. Bu makalede, gelişen akut hemorajik strok sonrası santral venöz anjiom ve asemptomatik akut EBV infeksiyonu tespit edilen, on üç yaşında kız olgu strok etiyolojisinde infeksiyöz nedenlerin de göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini vurgulamak amacıyla sunulmuştur.
