Stroke is not only a disease of the elderly. A report from NST Online explains that children can also experience a stroke. A stroke in children is known as paediatric stroke.
According to the report, paediatric stroke can be caused by several factors. These include heart disease, abnormalities in the blood vessels within the brain, and blood disorders. Germ infections can also be a cause of stroke in children.
Therefore, parents and the public need to be aware that stroke can happen to anyone, at any time. Recognising the early signs of stroke is important so that treatment can be given quickly.
So far, the information received is only brief. For further details on symptoms and preventive measures, readers are encouraged to refer to recognised health sources or a doctor.
