Fatal neonatal stroke from a prenatal cardiac thrombus

Pediatric Neurology
Catherine M Amlie-LefondRalph A Franciosi

Abstract

Despite careful investigation, the etiology of many perinatal arterial strokes is unknown. We report on a 5-day-old boy with a cardiac thrombus of prenatal origin resulting in a fatal postnatal stroke. The thrombus was discovered only at autopsy, challenging the assumption of a placental source of embolus in perinatal strokes in the absence of macroscopic and microscopic examination of the heart.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
