Devastating intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke is rarely encountered in children,
but it has a high mortality rate. The case of a 15-year-old boy who survived a
major stroke at 40 days old is described. He showed no significant motor or
intelligence impairment in adolescence until he was hospitalized for transient
left had tremors and slight left hand weakness caused by a cyst. The patient's
almost complete motor recovery highlights the power of neural plasticity in young
patients. The pediatric stroke was huge, but this did not affect his adolescent
movement or intelligence, demonstrating the great neuroplastic potential of the
developing human brain. These observations may help increase our knowledge about
stroke in children and improve the treatment of pediatric stroke patients.
