AIMS: To describe the characteristics of @entity66 ( @entity66 ) in @entity1 treated in a paediatric emergency department and to detect clinical differences, depending on whether the condition was ischaemic or @entity548 . @entity1 AND METHODS: An analytical, observation-based, retrospective study was conducted in the paediatric emergency department of a tertiary care hospital. The sample included @entity1 aged between 1 month and 18 years who were treated in the service over a period of 10 years (January 2001 to December 2011) with a final diagnosis of @entity66 . @entity548 due to @entity130 or secondary to @entity5 , @entity715 of the venous sinuses and @entity1 who were not treated in the service were all excluded. RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 61 @entity1 , 39 (63.9%) of whom were males, with a mean age of 4.6 years (range: 1.3 months-17.5 years). Of them, 26 (42.6%) presented @entity66 and 35 (57.4%) had @entity548 . @entity10 (n = 20; 57.1%; p = 0.008) and @entity391 (n = 25; 71.4%; p = 0.001) are more frequent in @entity548 , and @entity1269 (n = 17; 65.4%; p < 0.001) and @entity3541 (n = 7; 26.9%; p = 0.001) in @entity66 . The main causes of @entity548 are @entity2758 (n = 17; 38.6%) and the ischaemic ones are triggered by arteriopathies (n = 6; 42.3%). On discharge from hospital, 27 (44.3%) presented @entity717 and 6 (9.8%) died. CONCLUSIONS: @entity66 is a rare entity, although it presents a high morbidity and mortality rate. @entity548 is seen to predominate slightly and it is observed how @entity548 presents more often with signs of @entity428 , while the ischaemic form tends to have more neurological focus.
