Introduction: Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS) underlies approximately 10% of infantile spasms (IS). We aim to identify patterns of brain injury in ischemic stroke that may predispose infants to infantile spasms. Methods: Sixty-four perinatal arterial ischemic stroke patients were identified meeting the following inclusion criteria: term birth, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing ischemic stroke or encephalomalacia in an arterial distribution, and follow-up records. Patients who developed infantile spasms (PAIS-IS) were analyzed descriptively for ischemic stroke injury patterns and were compared to a seizure-free control group (PAIS-only). Stroke injury was scored using the modified pediatric ASPECTS (modASPECTS). Results: The PAIS-IS (n = 9) group had significantly higher modASPECTS than the PAIS-only (n = 16) group ( P = .002, Mann-Whitney). A greater proportion of PAIS-IS patients had injury to deep cerebral structures (67%) than PAIS-only (25%). Conclusion: Infarct size was significantly associated with infantile spasms development. Results support theories implicating deep cerebral structures in infantile spasms pathogenesis. This may help identify perinatal arterial ischemic stroke patients at risk of infantile spasms, facilitating more timely diagnosis.

Perinatal Stroke involves an often poorly understood neurocognitive events affecting the fetus and the new born with a potential for serious intellectual outcome.Our aim is to present a case study on the issue of neurocognitive defects on domains such as intellectual performance, attention and vigilance, executive functioning, visual perception, speed of processing, verbal learning and memory, and working memory on a 6 year old girl with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke.

It is rare for both limb ischemia and arterial ischemic stroke to occur in the same child during the perinatal period. Two children who appear to have had perinatal emboli to both an arm and a middle cerebral artery territory are presented here. One child required amputation of the ischemic limb below the shoulder, and the other required skin grafts to the distal ischemic fingers. Each of these children later received cerebral magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of developmental delay and was found to have what appeared to be old perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. Both children were homozygous for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene variant. Eight other children with perinatal limb ischemia and stroke were found on literature review; several also had delayed diagnosis of perinatal stroke. This report examines the approach to diagnosis and treatment in each of these and makes suggestions for the similar cases in the future.
