Stroke is a dangerous disease that can often leave a person disabled for life.
Although it is considered age-related, unfortunately, children can also suffer from it.
In a conversation with the Life portal, medical science candidate and neurologist Ekaterina Demyanovskaya listed the symptoms that parents should definitely pay attention to.
The specialist noted that children can be affected by hemorrhagic stroke. It develops against the background of problems with blood vessels or decreased blood clotting.
A general blood test, which shows the child's ability to clot, will help determine whether the child is prone to childhood stroke.
In addition, anomalies are also detected during CT or MRI of the brain. In this way, vascular diseases can be detected.
At the same time, the specialist told parents what symptoms should alert them. In particular, Demyanovskaya urged to pay attention to the child's complaints about headaches, especially in cases where it is often repeated.
Earlier it was reported that a three-year-old child in Ryazan died after visiting the dentist.
