Neonatal Brain Injury

Abstract
More than 95 percent of infants who have neonatal stroke survive to adulthood, and many have residual motor or cognitive disabilities. This article makes the point that recognition of at-risk newborns by means of advanced methods of neuroimaging, combined with a plan for rational intervention, may result in the prevention or the reduction in the incidence of lifelong disabilities such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and behavioral and learning disorders.
