Research Synopsis

Dr. Dlamini is passionate about understanding why children have stroke, why some children do well after they have a stroke, and why some do not.  She follows one of the largest populations of children with stroke in Canada and uses novel imaging of the brain to understand stroke risk and outcome in childhood.  Current work includes research into why some children with stroke have challenges with higher language functions such as socialization and humour, why some children develop a disabling movement disorder called dystonia, how to predict stroke risk in children with abnormalities of the brain blood vessels and how sleep affects stroke risk and outcome.
