Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(3):149-152.   Published online March 31, 2016

We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who developed left hemiparesis and left facial palsy, 6 days after the initiation of fever and respiratory symptoms due to pneumonia. Chest radiography, conducted upon admission, showed pneumonic infiltration and pleural effusion in the left lung field. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed acute ischemic infarction in the right middle cerebral artery territory....

Kyu Ha Lee, Min Jung Yoon, Mi Young Han, Sa Jun Chung, Soo Cheol Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(6):588-591.   Published online June 15, 2007
Left ventricular thrombus is mainly caused by anterior myocardial infarction or severe cardiac wall dysfunction of the apex, and is rarely caused by a complication of acute myocarditis. A 12-year-old female who developed symptoms of motor dysphasia and incomplete hemiparesis of the right side was admitted to the hospital. The brain MRI taken on the day of her admission showed...
A Case of Cerebral Infarction Complicated by Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia
Kyoung Whoon Cheon, Won Sik Kang, Byeong Hee Son, Sung Won Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(5):673-678.   Published online May 15, 2002
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the most common pathogen of the respiratory tract among school- aged children and young adults. The incidence of CNS complication is reported as 0.1-7% of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. We experienced a case of cerebral infarction complicated by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and reviewed the literature about the CNS complication of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
A Case of Cerebral Infarction Associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection
Young Jae Koh, Dong Jun Kim, In Joon Seol, Ha Baik Lee, Ki Woong Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(1):115-119.   Published online January 15, 1996
Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been shown to be of etiologic importance in cases of upper-and lower-respiratory tract infections, especially in children and young adults. It may cause a variety of extrapulmonary manifestations in multiple organ systems, most commonly the central nervous system. The extrapulmonary syndromes include meningitis, cerebral infarction, acute transverse myelitis, psychosis, cerebellar ataxia, Guillain-Barré syndrome and Reye syndrome. Cerebral...
