Clinical Diversity of Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis and Arterial Ischaemic Stroke in the Neonate: A Surveillance Study

CONCLUSION: The risk for AIS is about 3 times higher than that for CSVT in neonates. A higher proportion of critically ill infants in CSVT and a later onset of symptoms may indicate that perinatal and postnatal risk factors are more important for CSVT than for AIS. The data underline the need for an increased awareness of CSVT in critically ill infants.PMID:33784682 | DOI:10.1159/000512526
