A range of stroke syndromes are found in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities in HIV are commonly outside the range for typically developing children. TCD and neuroimaging data in children with HIV suggest intracranial vasculopathy as one mechanism for stroke. CD4 cell count is non-significantly lower in children with HIV and atypical TCD.
