View article: General ability and specific cognitive functions are lower in children with epilepsy after perinatal ischemic stroke
General ability and specific cognitive functions are lower in children with epilepsy after perinatal ischemic stroke Open
Introduction Epilepsy develops in one third of children after perinatal stroke. Both epilepsy and stroke may be risk factors for impaired cognitive abilities. How the development of epilepsy is related to the cognitive profile of children …

Vascular syndrome predicts the development and course of epilepsy after perinatal stroke Open
Objective Epilepsy develops in one third of the patients after perinatal stroke. It is still unclear which vascular syndrome of ischemic stroke carries higher risk of epilepsy. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the risk of epile…

The thalamus and basal ganglia are smaller in children with epilepsy after perinatal stroke Open
Background Epilepsy is one of the most serious consequences of perinatal stroke. Epilepsy itself has been proposed as a risk factor for impaired cognitive, language, and behavioral functioning. It is still unclear which children develop ep…

High Prevalence of Collagenopathies in Preterm- and Term-Born Children With Periventricular Venous Hemorrhagic Infarction Open
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic risk factors in term-born children with antenatal periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (PVHI), presumed antenatal periventricular venous infarction and periventricular hemorrhagi…

Maternal Pyelonephritis as a Potential Cause of Perinatal Periventricular Venous Infarction in Term-Born Children Open
Introduction: The study was designed to assess the prevalence of pregnancy and delivery associated risk factors in children suffering from neonatal or presumed periventricular venous infarction. Methods: Antenatal records and pregnancy out…

Language lateralization and outcome in perinatal stroke patients with different vascular types Open
Perinatal stroke affects child's language development and can change language lateralization. Language generation and comprehension tasks in functional magnetic resonance imaging were used to determine language lateralization in term born …

Neurologic phenotypes associated with <i>COL4A1</i> / <i>2</i> mutations Open
COL4A1/COL4A2 mutations typically cause a severe neurologic condition and a broader spectrum of milder phenotypes, in which epilepsy is the predominant feature. Early identification of patients carrying COL4A1/COL4A2 mutation…

Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after perinatal arterial ischemic stroke and periventricular venous infarction Open
View article: Epilepsy after perinatal stroke with different vascular subtypes
Epilepsy after perinatal stroke with different vascular subtypes Open
Summary Objective With an incidence up to 63 per 100,000 live births, perinatal stroke is an important cause of childhood epilepsy. The aim of the study was to find the prevalence of and predictive factors for epilepsy, and to describe the…
View article: Symptomatic Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke With Prenatal and Postnatal Neuroimaging
Symptomatic Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke With Prenatal and Postnatal Neuroimaging Open
The authors report a girl born at term via planned cesarean delivery. Three days earlier, an antenatal magnetic resonance imaging study, showing no cerebral lesions in the fetus, was performed. Ten minutes after delivery, signs of progress…
View article: Resting-State Functional Connectivity and Cognitive Impairment in Children with Perinatal Stroke
Resting-State Functional Connectivity and Cognitive Impairment in Children with Perinatal Stroke Open
Perinatal stroke is a leading cause of congenital hemiparesis and neurocognitive deficits in children. Dysfunctions in the large-scale resting-state functional networks may underlie cognitive and behavioral disability in these children. We…
