Scientific papers pertinent to fetal and neonatal strokes were included and analysed.Results: The analysis of the multiple causes of fetal and neonatal vascular compromise including maternal, placental, infectious, metabolic/prothrombotic, traumatic and cardiac factors, current therapy and outcome data, is presented and discussed throughout the length of the paper.Conclusion: With increasing vigilance among physicians and improved neuroimaging modalities, the diagnosis of neonatal stroke is now made earlier, with increasing frequency and greater accuracy.
