Dear IPSO Virtual Conference Attendees:

Welcome to IPSO’s first-ever conference! We are delighted to bring together experts from <u>multiple disciplines</u> and <u>six continents</u> to provide a diverse perspective on pediatric cerebrovascular disease.  

A few quick words about what to expect.  Two important goals of this conference are to (1) foster a sense of community and (2) identify global priorities for our field. Hence, the program includes short presentations on an array of clinical controversies and dedicates more time to panel discussions with a live chat function so that everyone can participate. We are excited to announce IPSO is able to offer 8.75 CME units for the virtual conference. If you would like to claim CME credits, please email  <membership@internationalpediatricstroke.org>. 

We want to hear from you!  Planning for the [IPSO Founding Members’ Congress](https://internationalpediatricstroke.org/2022-congress/) in Vienna, April 24-26, 2022, will commence as soon as the Virtual Conference ends. Let us know your priorities through the live chat function, via email, or by submitting a symposium idea. Based on your input, the Scientific Program Committee will select the topics that we will address in greater depth when we meet again in the spring.

We hope you find the Virtual Conference both interesting and educational, and hope to see you in person in Vienna, or at another IPSO meeting in the future.  

Warm regards,

Heather Fullerton, IPSO President

Adam Kirton, IPSO Vice-President

Lori Jordan, IPSO Secretary & Treasurer

Introduction: Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare cause of stroke in the neonatal and paediatric population. In the last 2 decades there has been significant growth in the study and diagnosis of this rare disease in pediatrics. We are interested in sharing our experience in the management of this pathology in order to contribute to the evidence of the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. Objective: to share our experience in the management of cerebral venous thrombosis in pediatrics. Method: A descriptive longitudinal, prospective and retrospective study was conducted from January 2015 to DEcember 2020 evaluating patients with cerebrovascular disease. Of 88 follow-up patients with cerebrovascular disease 14 patients had cerebral venous thrombosis. Children from 0 days of life to 18 years of life were included who had acute neurological signs (altered consciousness, headache, seizures or neurological focal signs) with radiological confirmation with resonance or tomography venography, where thrombus or interruption of venous flow was evident, or not by associating infarction or bleeding. Results: 14 patients were evaluated, 9 of whom were evaluated from baseline and 3 were evaluated after the acute period. The majority were male( 8/ 61.5%). More than 50% occurred in the neonatal period. Of the predisposing factors found: 2 patients associated with head and neck infections; 1 meningitis; 1 sepsis. 6 had heart disease, 1 ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy; 1 required respiratory ECMO. Most common clinical presentation were: impaired consciousness, headache, seizures, apnea. One patient was detected by prenatal eco Received treatment. 11/13. None had post-anticoagulant bleeding. 8 patients had treatment during 6 weeks or 3 month according to age; 2 followed was lost. 3 to die before assessing whether they managed to resolve thrombosis.; 1 required prolonging the anticoagulation time according to their age. Conclusions: so far there are few series of patients published with this pathology. It is important to communicate the experience in order to obtain strong information about the efficacy and safety of the treatment.
