Description
Summary:Over the past 15 years, there have been significant advances in the treatment of acute and chronic medical consequences of stroke in childhood. Given high rates of survival in pediatric stroke, practitioners are tasked with treating the ongoing motor and neuropsychological sequelae in patients over the course of their development. This article provides a review of the current literature on neuropsychological outcomes in pediatric stroke, including intelligence, academics, language, visual-spatial skills, attention, executive functions, memory, and psychosocial function. Recent developments in functional neuroimaging are discussed, with a particular focus on language outcomes. We further review the current research on cognitive and behavioral rehabilitation and introduce intervention models in pediatric stroke. In the final section, we discuss future directions for clinical practice and research in pediatric stroke.
