Roberts L et al. - The authors report five episodes of stroke in under 3s and outcome of TCD screening in children under 3, compared to over 3. TCD analysis was as successful in the 2–3-year age group as in the 3–4-year group. The authors therefore propose that all children with SCA should be offered TCD screening from the age of 2 years. Furthermore, infants with high risk features of SCA should undergo a first attempt at TCD screening even earlier.
