Stroke is a disorder, which occurs suddenly as a result of vascular disorders and presents with variable neurological signs. Occlusive vascular diseases in childhood have many causes. Connective tissue disorders such as vasculitis, metabolic disorders, migraine, cyanotic heart diseases, infections, dehydration, nephritic syndrome, malignancies, haemoglobinopathies, Moya moya disease and trauma are some of these causes. Stroke occurring in children as a result of minor head trauma sustained during falls and sport activities are also reported in the literature. An extensive evaluation is necessary for effective treatment of these children and to show the cause of the infarction. We present a case of a two-year-old patient suffered from acute ischaemic stroke resulting from a short distance fall.
