Abstract
Perinatal venous stroke has classically been attributed to cerebral sinovenous thrombosis with resultant congestion or thrombosis of the small veins draining the cerebrum. Advances in brain MRI, in particular susceptibility-weighted imaging, have enabled the visualization of the engorged small intracerebral veins, and the spectrum of perinatal venous stroke has expanded to include isolated congestion or thrombosis of the deep medullary veins and the superficial intracerebral veins. Congestion or thrombosis of the deep medullary veins or the superficial intracerebral veins can result in vasogenic edema, cytotoxic edema or hemorrhage in the territory of disrupted venous flow. Deep medullary vein engorgement and superficial medullary vein engorgement have characteristic findings on MRI and should be differentiated from neonatal hemorrhagic stroke.
