Ischemic stroke (AI) is becoming an increasingly important and urgent problem in pediatrics due to the occurrence of neurological disorders that affect the quality of life and limit the social adaptation of a child. The clinical picture of ischemic stroke in pediatric practice differs from the manifestation of this pathology in adult patients. Children have special risk factors for the development of IS. In pediatric oncology, there are such factors like invasive tumor growth, the development of tumor embolism, and blood clotting disorders. Side effects of anticancer treatment occupy a special place in the development of IS. The relationship between post-radiation arteriopathies and ischemic stroke has been more studied among cancer patients who underwent neck irradiation. In children, it was found that after radiation therapy to the head and neck region and, thus, the risk of ischemic stroke in childhood increases. This review is devoted to the possible pathophysiological causes and mechanisms of stroke in children with head and neck tumors. In addition, descriptions of clinical cases of patients with ischemic stroke in the course of anticancer treatment are presented.
