Paediatric Stroke Diagnosis and Treatment in Kochi

Although stroke is less common in children than adults, it can occur during infancy, childhood or adolescence and requires prompt neurological evaluation. A paediatric stroke may result from abnormalities affecting blood vessels, clotting disorders, infections, heart conditions or other underlying diseases.

Paediatric Stroke Care

Children with sudden weakness, facial asymmetry, difficulty speaking, loss of balance, seizures, altered consciousness or other sudden neurological symptoms require urgent medical assessment. The Paediatric Neurology team works with emergency, radiology, neurosurgical and rehabilitation teams to assess the cause and provide appropriate treatment. Long-term care may include neurological follow-up, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and developmental support depending on the areas affected.
