Abstract：In recent years,the incidence of acute ischemic stroke(AIS)among children and young adults has increased significantly.This condition is characterized by complex etiologies,high disability and mortality rates,and a high burden of disease.Endovascular treatment(EVT)has demonstrated remarkable clinical value in treating AIS with large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO).Multiple studies indicated that EVT can significantly enhance outcomes of AIS-LVO and achieve high recanalization rates in children and young adults,and could potentially lead to a better prognosis compared to elderly patients.This article reviews the research progress on the etiology,pathological characteristics,current EVT status,and key influencing factors of prognosis in AIS-LVO in children and young adults.
