Respiratory distress often occurs during the neonatal period, and in 80% to 85% of cases, the diagnosis is made before the age of 2 years following respiratory infections. Case Report: We report a case of MAKC diagnosed in the neonatal period. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological and histological elements. Our patient underwent surgical resection. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MAKC without any sign of malignancy. The postoperative evolution was good. Conclusion: Clinicians and pathologists should recognize the early discovery of MAKC in neonatal age. The clinical diagnosis strongly guided by the radiological approach is confirmed by the pathological anatomy insofar as the therapeutic sanction is surgical in the majority of the cases.展开更多

The usual mechanism is either direct trauma or sudden neck movements. We describe the case of a 3-year-old patient admitted with right hemiplegia following a stroke. The diagnosis was confirmed by ANGIO-MRI. During treatment with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents, the patient showed significant improvement in the right-sided hemiplegia. Minor head trauma is a possible pathological mechanism for ICA dissection in children. However, the scenario is extremely rare.展开更多
