Cerebral arteriopathies, including an idiopathic focal cerebral arteriopathy of childhood (FCA), are common in children with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) and strongly predictive of recurrence. To better understand these lesions, we measured predictors of arteriopathy within a large international series of children with AIS. Between 1/2003 and 7/2007, 30 centers within the International Pediatric Stroke Study (IPSS) enrolled 667 children (29 days-19 years of age) with AIS and abstracted clinical and radiographic data. Cerebral arteriopathy and its subtypes were defined using published definitions; FCA was defined as cerebral arterial stenosis not attributed to specific diagnoses such as moyamoya, arterial dissection, vasculitis, or post-varicella angiopathy. We used multivariate logistic regression techniques to determine predictors of arteriopathy and FCA among those subjects who received vascular imaging. The authors had full access to and take full responsibility for the integrity of the data. All authors have read and agree to the manuscript as written. Of 667 subjects, 525 had known vascular imaging results, and 53% of those (n=277) had an arteriopathy. The most common arteriopathies were FCA (n=69, 25%), moyamoya (n=61, 22%), and arterial dissection (n=56; 20%). Predictors of arteriopathy include early school age (5-9 years), recent upper respiratory infections (URI), and sickle cell disease, while prior cardiac disease and sepsis reduced the risk of arteriopathy. The only predictor of FCA was recent URI. Arteriopathy is prevalent among children with AIS, particularly those presenting in early school age, and those with a history of sickle cell disease. Recent URI predicted cerebral arteriopathy, and FCA in particular, suggesting a possible role for infection in the pathogenesis of these lesions.
