Diagnosis of perinatal stroke I: definitions, differential diagnosis and registration
Acta Pediatrica, 08/05/09

Govaert P et al. – Ten variables may be sufficient to register a perinatal stroke. These include gestational age, birthweight, gender, delivery mode, time of detection, presentation, type of stroke, vessel affected or type of cavity, imaging method at detection and clinical context.

P Govaert, 08/05/09

To enter a stage where meaningful prospective research into treatment of neonatal stroke is possible, it is imperative to use generally accepted and practical definitions of the disease entity. Based on an extensive literature study and personal experience with a large hospital-based cohort, ten variables are used to describe an instance of neonatal stroke, be it arterial ischaemic, sinovenous ischaemic or haemorrhagic. Large registries using a universally accepted classification system will be able to detect entities amenable to prevention and treatment.
