Background: Basal ganglia ischemic stroke accounts for a significant proportion of all childhood strokes. Trauma and bilateral basal ganglia calcification are its most frequent causes. It has been found that basal ganglia calcification is in fact the manifestation of mineralizing angiopathy of lenticulostriate arteries. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between mineral calcification in the lenticulostriate arteries and acute infarcts in Indian population of age group new-born to 12 years.
