Bedside neurophysiological tests can identify neonates with stroke leading to cerebral palsy.

CONCLUSIONS: Absent SEP combined with continuous EEG background in near-term neonates indicates an MCA stroke and a high risk for cerebral palsy. SIGNIFICANCE: EEG-SEP offers a bedside method for diagnostic screening and a reliable prediction of neuromotor outcome in neonates suspected of having a stroke.
