A Primer for Nurses on Perinatal/Neonatal Stroke.
Perinatal or neonatal stroke is not uncommon, but diagnosis is often missed. Perinatal nurses are often the first health professionals in the position to observe the most typical symptom of stroke in a newborn, which is focal seizure. Etiology, symptoms and outcomes are reviewed and discussed through the context of the author's personal story.
