Why the study?
Pediatric stroke is uncommon and often underdiagnosed, with cardiac diseases contributing up to 33% of pediatric ischemic strokes, leading to challenges in timely diagnosis and management.

LVNC merits consideration in pediatric ischemic stroke; extends sparse case data but leaves screening recommendations open.
Pediatric stroke, though uncommon, is often underdiagnosed due to subtle symptoms and delayed recognition. Cardiac diseases, accounting for up to 33% of pediatric ischemic strokes, play a significant role. This case report explores the rare occurrence of ischemic stroke in a 15-year-old boy with left ventricular non-compaction syndrome (LVNC). It underscores the complexity of managing pediatric ischemic stroke, particularly in the context of LVNC, emphasizing the challenges in timely diagnosis and management.
