Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Correlates with Stroke Onset in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke.

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the relationship between FLAIR signal changes and stroke onset timing in childhood arterial ischemic stroke.
• Analyzed FLAIR signal hyperintensity in children with arterial ischemic stroke.
• Compared FLAIR signal timing with documented stroke onset.
• Evaluated implications for recanalization therapy effectiveness.
• FLAIR signal hyperintensity correlates significantly with time since stroke onset.
• Children show similar timing of FLAIR signal change compared to adults.
• Findings indicate similar windows for effective treatment interventions.
