Abstract

There is limited literature on the use of mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers in paediatric stroke, especially in the posterior circulation. We report a paediatric case of acute basilar artery occlusion successfully treated by mechanical thrombectomy using stent-retriever but complicated by delayed basilar artery stenosis. This case emphasises prudent selection of thrombectomy device and meticulous long-term follow-up when employed in paediatric stroke., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019.
