Neonatal infarction within basal cerebral vein territory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 August 2001
Abstract
In this report, an unusual intracranial haemorrhage in a term male infant born to a mother with diabetes is explained on the basis of occlusion of both basal veins of Rosenthal. This diagnosis relies on anatomical location and iconographic aspect of the clots. Evidence that this vessel is occluded cannot be ascertained from ultrasound or MR angiographic techniques in the neonatal period. The basal vein has not been implicated in previous reports of neonatal brain haemorrhage.
