Objective:
The purpose of this manuscript is to review various clinical and neuroimaging features of vascular pathology in the fetus and neonate.
Methods:
A PubMed search of literature from 1978 to 2007 was performed using key search terms. Scientific papers pertinent to fetal and neonatal strokes were included and analysed.
Results:
The analysis of the multiple causes of fetal and neonatal vascular compromise including maternal, placental, infectious, metabolic/prothrombotic, traumatic and cardiac factors, current therapy and outcome data, is presented and discussed throughout the length of the paper.
Conclusion:
With increasing vigilance among physicians and improved neuroimaging modalities, the diagnosis of neonatal stroke is now made earlier, with increasing frequency and greater accuracy.
