New study: silent strokes undetected in kids

LOS ANGELES

Strokes are known to be a risk for kids with /*sickle cell anemia*/. Friday scientists in Texas say their study shows that strokes are more common than has been believed in these children.

More surprisingly, the study found that /*strokes*/ were also occurring undetected in children who do not have sickle cell, but have other conditions that can cause anemia such as cancer and kidney failure.
