Bowhunter syndrome (BHS) is a rare but important cause of posterior circulation stroke in children, resulting from vertebral artery compression during head rotation. In this Neuroscience Grand Rounds session, Jacq Wood, MD highlights the pediatric-specific presentation, risk factors, and subtypes, noting that children often present with stroke rather than transient positional symptoms.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the subtypes of Bowhunter Syndrome in pediatrics.
• Identify the risk factors for Bowhunter Syndrome in pediatrics.
• Explain the treatment options for patients with Bowhunter syndrome.
