AB  - The costs and lifelong morbidity that are associated with stroke are great when the victims are young [Goodman S et al. Curr Treat Options Neurol 2008; Fox CK, Fullerton HJ. Curr Artheroscler Rep 2010]; yet, recent reports have identified increasing trends in hospitalization for ischemic stroke among adolescents and young adults [George MG et al. Ann Neurol 2011].
