Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of pediatric death and disability. A clinical scale adapted for children can ensure early detection candidates urgent acute treatment. The Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE) adults, which scores 5 items (facial palsy 0-2; arm motor function leg head/gaze deviation 0-1; aphasia or agnosia 0-2), has good sensitivity specificity in detecting large vessel occlusion.
Brainstem strokes affecting the periaqueductal gray matter of midbrain can cause vertical ophthalmoplegia. Accompanying clinical features are frequently associated and reflect involvement other brainstem structures. We report on an adolescent presenting with gaze palsy left mydriatic pupil as only expression a small infarct located in matter. Even when lesion was strictly unilateral, ophthalmoplegia affected both eyes.
