Abstract

Cerebral infarction of newborn infants is a rare condition. It remains the least predictable etiology of neonatal seizures, and the appreciation of its occurrence among physicians needs to be re-addressed. The most common presenting feature is seizure. We report 2 full term newborn infants who developed middle cerebral infarction. These infants presented primarily with ischemic limbs for several hours before the evolution of seizures.
