title: Perinatal arterial stroke: role of three-dimensional ultrasound.
abstract: Stroke is an uncommon but increasingly recognized cause of mortality and long-term neurologic morbidity in newborns. We report the case of a neonate presenting an asymptomatic episode of complete middle left cerebral artery infarction. The power Doppler three-dimensional ultrasound allowed an early diagnosis and an accurate bedside evaluation.
