- Abstract:
- In children, strokes occur with a frequency of 2 to 13 per 100,000. Risk factors include hematological, embolic and anatomical anomalies. But often the exact cause of strokes in pediatric patients remains unclear. We report here on a patient with long gap esophageal atresia, who suffered an ischemic stroke during gastric transposition. Postoperative assessment revealed a cerebral vascular variant of the circle of Willis. Follow-up clinical controls showed a favorable course. Today, at the age of 14 months, almost no neurological deficits are evident. To the best of our knowledge, no description of vascular cerebral complications combined with esophageal atresia can be found in the literature.
