Abstract

Studies have shown the benefits of endovascular treatment (EVT) in adult stroke cases, but its application in pediatric stroke remains controversial. Despite evidence of improved outcomes in adults, there are no established recommendations for EVT in children. Conducting individual case reports and case series is vital to understanding its potential advantages and disadvantages in this context. This case report presents a 9-year-old boy who experienced basilar artery occlusion leading to a stroke and was effectively treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
