Fetal and neonatal cerebral infarcts.

摘要: Focal arterial infarction in the full-term newborn is an important cause of acquired cerebral lesions perinatal period. Clinical motor seizures, most often unifocal, are nearly constant disclosing symptom confirmed by focal EEG abnormalities. A multifactorial physiopathology usual, including genetic and environmental factors. In past decade, various or thrombophilias have been discussed as risk For several involved mechanisms, excitotoxic cascade could represent a common final pathway leading to neuronal cell death. Early magnetic resonance imaging studies help identify newborns with strokes who likely develop hemiplegia disabilities at school. Protection human fetal brain remains difficult, since triggering factor initiating rarely observed. Treatment seizures nevertheless necessary, because it seems that they accelerate anoxia-induced death animal models hypoxic ischemia.
