Abstract
We report a case of neonatal idiopathic cerebral infarction. A 4, 352 g full-term male infant was born by vaginal delivery to a 28-year-old mother. Apgar score at 1 minute was 8. General status was good after birth. At the first day of life, clonic seizure in right upper and lower extremities appeared. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed homogeneous hypodensity in the distribution of the left middle cerebral artery and right posterior cerebral artery. Because no perinatal predisposing factor had been found, this case was diagnosed as neonatal idiopathic cerebral infarction. Recently, the reports of a case with neonatal idiopathic cerebral infarction are increasing. However, there have been few reported cases with multiple cerebral infarction.
