One of the common causes of childhood hemiplegia is infant or pediatric stroke. Other causes may be prematurity, bleeds in the brain, brain tumors or infections. Children with hemiplegia may have problems with speech and language, vision, seizures, learning, and movement of one side of their body. IQ scores for children with hemiplegia follow the same range as the general population. Throughout the website, you will see photos of children who have hemiplegia.
Children have strokes, too.
