Placental Pathology in Neonatal Stroke: A Retrospective Case-Control Study (S42.006)

Conclusions: Major placental abnormalities were common in stroke cases relative to controls, with trends towards different patterns in arterial versus venous stroke. Many findings were subacute to chronic and reflect intrauterine stressors that may predispose to acute stroke in the perinatal period. We are continuing to investigate these abnormalities and their implications for screening, monitoring, and even prevention of neonatal stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Bernson-Leung has nothing to disclose.
