  "Previous studies suggested that approximately half of all infants with stroke at or near the time of birth have a normal outcome," said senior author Yvonne Wu, MD, MPH, a child neurologist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

  "Not surprisingly, we found that a larger extent of brain injury, and injury to specific areas of the brain that control movement were both factors that increased the risk of cerebral palsy," said Wu.

  "Our data do not directly impact the current treatment of perinatal stroke," said Wu.The authors did not find a single case of stroke recurrence, supporting the argument that these children should not be placed on prophylactic anti-stroke medicines.
  
  "However, we hope to raise awareness of this disorder," said Wu."Infants with unexplained seizures or weakness on one side of the body should be evaluated by a neurologist, and should receive a head imaging study to evaluate for perinatal stroke."
