Perinatal stroke (a case report)

Perinatal stroke and, in particular, intracranial hemorrhage in fetus refer to topical issues of modern perinatology and perinatal neurology because of diagnostic challenges and uncertain prognosis. The severity of outcome in intracranial hemorrhage in fetus depends on its localization and affected area. We report a case of fetal stroke in а newborn. In the patient, initial minimal clinical signs were accompanied by pathological changes detected by visual diagnostic methods and electroencephalography. This makes prognosis more challenging and requires the vigilance of neonatologists and pediatric neurologists.
