The Spectrum of Intracranial Arteriopathies and Ischemic Strokes in Pediatric Tubercular Meningitis: A Tricentric Study From Eastern India
Introduction
Addressing the need to uniformly classify arteriopathies among patients with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) due to tubercular meningitis (TBM), we used the Childhood AIS Standardised Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation (CASCADE) criteria.
Methods
This tri-centric prospective study included children aged 0.5-12 years with TBM and AIS. Magnetic resonance angiographies (MRAs) were done during admission and repeated 3 and 12 months after discharge. Arteriopathies were classified according to the primary CASCADE criteria. We used the modified Pediatric Alberta Stroke Programme Early Computed Tomography Score as an ordinal measure of infarct volume. The severity of arteriopathies was graded using the focal cerebral arteriopathy severity score (FCASS). The final outcomes were measured at the 12-month follow-up visit using the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM).
Results
Out of 55 patients, 64% had MRA-evidenced arteriopathies and 84% had multiple infarcts. The middle cerebral (46%) and internal carotid arteries (22%) were most commonly affected. The basal ganglia (70%) and the cerebral cortex (61%) were most commonly infarcted. CASCADE categories included 3b (40%), 1d (38%), 2b (16%), 2c (5%), progressive (32%), and stable (44%) arteriopathies. Younger age, hypertrophic pachymeningitis, cortical infarcts, recurrent strokes, progressive arteriopathies, EEG abnormalities, and mortality were significantly higher among patients with MRA-proven arteriopathies. Patients with progressive arteriopathies had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertrophic pachymeningitis, cortical infarcts, and recurrent strokes. FCASS correlated positively with outcomes measured by the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure and modified Pediatric Alberta Stroke Programme Early Computed Tomography Score.
Conclusion
The CASCADE classification clarified the arteriopathy patterns, enabling us to correlate them with the characteristics of the infarcts. FCASS is useful to grade the arteriopathy severity and progression in TBM.
