    Author: Salih MA, Zahraa JN, Al-Jarallah AA, Alorainy IA, Hassan HH.
    Journal: Saudi Med J; 2006 Mar; 27 Suppl 1():S97-102. PubMed ID: 16532137.
    Abstract:
    Systemic vascular disorders, leading to childhood stroke, include volume depletion or systemic hypotension and hypernatremic dehydration. We describe 3 cases of stroke following systemic vascular disorders. These were diagnosed during a prospective and retrospective study on childhood stroke, which included 104 patients. Post-gastroenteritis hypernatremic dehydration is an important, potentially preventable, cause of stroke in Saudi children.
