Neonatal cerebral infarction: A case report.

RATIONALE: Neonatal cerebral infarction can be focal or widespread, clinically silent or neurologically catastrophic, embolic or thrombotic, prenatalor postnatal, and hemorrhagic or occlusive.

PATIENT CONCERNS: A neonatal was diagnosed with neonatal cerebral infarction after birth.

DIAGNOSES: A large area of cerebral infarction was found through brain computed tomography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging examinations.

INTERVENTIONS: The child is restricted from fluids, and dehydration reduces intracranial pressure.

OUTCOMES: Emiparesis may be absent in the neonatal period. However, over the next several months, an asymmetry of left hemiplegia may gradually become evident.

LESSONS: At present we cannot accurately predict which infants with neonatal stroke will have significantly abnormal language development. Therefore, the most important thing for the patient is to have regular follow-up visits at the outpatient clinic, and if necessary, to engage in timely rehabilitation exercise training.
