Abstract		Acute hemiparesis is not so often seen in childhood as it is in adulthood. We can assume many differerent causes according to differential diagnostic. Early diagnosis is important beacuse of specific therapy. The paper presents the case of acute hemiparesis in 15,5 years old previously healthy boy.
