Resumen

Pediatric cerebrovascular diseases have distinct clinical presentations, pathophysiology, and management compared to the adult counterparts.

The article also underscores the importance of genetic factors and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric neurovascular disorders.
