Teenage stroke is rare. The most common stroke age group is adults over the age of 65 years. Children with certain health problems and pregnant women can experience a small increase in the risk of stroke, but in adolescents it is a different problem.

The main cause of stroke in adolescents

Teens who experience strokes often have one or more of the medical problems that affect blood clots and strokes, including the conditions below.

1. Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary blood condition and causes blood clots caused by a process called 'sickling,' or a characteristic change in the form of red blood cells in response to physical stress such as infection. These blood clots can form anywhere in the body, and if a blood clot forms in the brain or on the way to the brain, it will cause a stroke.

2. Congenital vascular abnormalities

Examples such as brain aneurysms and arterial malformations may cause clots, resulting in ischemic stroke, but are more likely to rupture, causing hemorrhagic strokes.

3. Heart disease or heart malformation

Can result in irregular heartbeat, heart function problems or heart attacks, all of which can cause strokes. Congenital heart disease is generally diagnosed at a very early age, but teenagers must carry out regular health checks to detect and deal with the types of problems that occur.

4. Hypertension

Not common in adolescents, and it is usually a sign of a medical illness such as hormonal imbalance. Untreated hypertension can interfere with blood vessels and can cause heart disease or stroke.

5. Infection

Especially severe infections, can interfere with the immune system and blood cells so that it can increase blood clots, and cause strokes, may occur. The best way to protect yourself against serious infections is to keep up with the development of immunization.

6. Migraine

Rarely associated with stroke, but teens who suffer from migraines experience a slightly higher stroke rate, and must carry out a thorough medical evaluation to determine whether the migraine is true only mild migraine or whether it is actually a mini stroke.

7. Cancer

Increases blood clot formation due to changes in body physiology and also as a consequence of several anticancer treatments.

8. High cholesterol

Relatively rare in adolescents, but there are some congenital metabolic disorders that can cause blood cholesterol levels to rise, and can cause heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, increasing the risk of stroke.

9. Hormone therapy, steroid use, birth control pills, and teen pregnancy

All can change body hormones, vascular physiology and blood clotting functions, increasing the risk of stroke.

10. Head trauma, concussion or other severe trauma

Causes disruption in the body, and has an impact on ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke for young people.

11. Medicines

Can cause stroke at any age. The use of cigarettes, energy drinks, caffeine pills or drugs are major risk factors for stroke.
