Crossed cerebellar atrophy is uncommon in childhood arterial ischemic stroke. Acute corticospinal tract diffusion-weighted imaging (CST-DWI) changes occur in stroke of all ages. Contralateral CST-DWI is unexplained but approximates corticopontocerebellar pathways. We hypothesized that cerebellar atrophy can be quantified on clinical neuroimaging in childhood arterial ischemic stroke and is predicted by contralesional CST-DWI.
