Register for a FREE webinar series on Pediatric Stroke!

Sign up for 1 webinar or all 3 to learn more about what makes pediatric stroke different.

The presentation on pediatric stroke offers a comprehensive overview of this rare but serious medical condition affecting children. It begins by defining pediatric stroke and distinguishing between ischemic and hemorrhagic types, followed by an exploration of common causes such as congenital heart disease, infections, and clotting disorders. The session highlights key symptoms—like sudden weakness, speech difficulties, and seizures—and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and diagnosis. Diagnostic tools such as MRI and CT scans are discussed, along with treatment options including anticoagulants, surgery, and rehabilitation therapies. The presentation concludes with a focus on long-term outcomes, support strategies for families, and current research aimed at improving recovery and prevention.

Participants can be awarded 1 CE contact hour per webinar for attending the webinar or watching the recording and completing an evaluation. Earn 3 CE contact hours for attending all three webinars.
