Summary

This study looks at whether giving steroids early helps children who had a stroke due to a condition called focal cerebral arteriopathy (FCA). About 80 kids will either get steroids right away or only if their disease gets worse. All children will also receive standard care with aspirin. The goal is to see if early steroids can reduce artery damage and improve recovery.
