  Pediatric Cerebral Aneurysms

  Intracranial saccular aneurysms are rare in the pediatric population. In a cooperative study of 6,368 patients with intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage, only 41 patients (0.6%) were less than nineteen years of age. Although intracranial aneurysms in children are associated with a variety of disorders (See following list), no underlying systemic disorder is detected in the vast majority of affected children.

  Acute Stroke

  Strokes affect 700,000 people each year, and are the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for about 1 in every 14 deaths. Someone in the US has a stroke, on average, every 45 seconds, and someone dies from stroke every 3.1 seconds. It is estimated that 40,000 more women have strokes each year than men. More money is spent on the care of strokes than any other condition. More than 1 million Americans suffer from difficulty in daily functioning due to stroke.
