Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases have been considered very rare in children, but there has been a gradual increase of the cases detected by CT scans. Twenty-one of 221 in patients of pediatric ages (9.5%) were found to have cerebrovascular diseases. In this survey were excluded the cases with intracranial bleeding caused by vitamin K deficiency and other types of bleeding tendency. The diagnosis of the following diseases was established; arteriovenous malformations (12 cases), spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (5 cases), aneurysms (2 cases), moyamoya disease (1 case) and intracranial arterial occlusion (1 case).
