Abstract

|
Cerebrovascular disease in children is more common than once recognized and the etiology and prognosis of the disease in children are quite different from those of adults. In Korea, the most common cause of stroke is moyamoya disease in ischemic stroke, arteriovenous malformation in hemorrhagic stroke. We experienced two cases of ischemic stroke in childhood whose symptoms are similar to that of adults. They had cerebrovascular malformation(narrowing of ICA, MCA, basilar artery). we treated them with herb medicine, acupuncture treatment, laser acupuncture treatment and physical treatment. After treatment, they recovered from the stroke symptoms, but the primary cause of stroke was not eliminated, so it is thought that more follow up is needed. We report that we had good effects of oriental medical treatment on two case of cerebral infarction in children.
