Stroke is uncommon in children accounting for only a small percentage of stroke cases each year. Stroke in children is often secondary to congenital heart disease, abnormalities of intracranial vessels genetic disorders and blood disorders such as thrombophilia. Below are the causes of stroke:

1. Hypertension
2. Heart disease
3. Diabetes
4. Atrial fibrillation

Prevention:
