ABSTRACT: Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is relatively rare in children, but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Focal neurological signs occur in three-quarters of patients, with hemiplegia are the most common for the diagnosis. A case report describes, 10-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department (ED) of our neurological center in Dhamar city 100 km south to Sana’a capital city of Yemen, with the diagnosis of an acute ischemic stroke clinically and documented before and after treatment with drugs, and Chinese Acupuncture. Brain CT confirms the diagnosis. In this case, the main etiology is still unclear in spite of the presence of mild infection and anxiety (as a risk factor in Acute Cerebral Infarction in (ACI) children). Management (Drugs & Chinese Acupuncture) of a child suffering from an acute ischemic stroke should focus on stabilization and transfer to an appropriate facility for specialty care with good improvement.
