ABSTRACT

Perinatal stroke is a focal vascular injury to the developing brain that occurs near or before birth. Three specific stroke diseases presenting in the neonate are defined by clinical and neuroimaging features. Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke, cerebral sinovenous thrombosis, and neonatal hemorrhagic stroke each have specific mechanisms, presentations, diagnostics, and management. All require neuroprotective care and a family-centered approach to optimize long-term outcomes.
