Abstract
Introduction: Basal ganglia infarct due any minor trauma in infants is a rare but definite clinico-radiological entity that is been termed as Mineralizing Angiopathy of Infancy. Healthy infants with no previously known systemic illness presents with hemiparesis and facial paresis following a minor injury. Supporting clinical findings on Neuroimaging it reveals non-hemorrhagic focal infarct in basal ganglia. Case report: We report a case of a 2-year old female child presenting with left-sided hemiparesis following trauma. Neuroimaging of brain showed Right Basal Ganglia Infarct due to Mineralizing Angiopathy. Conclusion: This case report emphasizes that Mineralizing Angiopathy should be included in the differential diagnosis in any infant who presents with acute infantile hemiplegia following minor trauma. The neurological outcome is usually good in most children.
