What is the importance of cerebral aneurysms in childhood hemorrhagic stroke?
The study by Jordan et al. (2009) found that cerebral aneurysms are an important cause of childhood hemorrhagic stroke. The population-based study found that cerebral aneurysms accounted for 13.2% of all childhood hemorrhagic stroke cases. The study also found that risk factors for childhood hemorrhagic stroke were similar to those of adults, but younger age and male gender were associated with a higher risk. In addition, the study found that mortality was higher in children with cerebral aneurysms than in those without. These findings emphasize the importance of cerebral aneurysms in childhood hemorrhagic stroke.
