  • Title: Cerebral blood flow velocity in two patients with neonatal cerebral infarction.
    Author: Nishimaki S, Seki K, Yokota S.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2001 Apr; 24(4):320-3. PubMed ID: 11377112.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral blood flow velocity was measured in the middle cerebral artery of two patients who exhibited unilateral neonatal cerebral infarction during the neonatal period. Doppler studies demonstrated increases in cerebral blood flow velocity but decreases in the resistance index on the affected side of the middle cerebral artery in the neonate who developed hemiplegia with cystic encephalomalacia, although the neonate with normal neurologic outcome exhibited symmetric cerebral blood flow velocity and resistance index. The asymmetry in cerebral blood flow velocity measurements of both middle cerebral arteries may be useful to evaluate the severity of brain damage and predict the neurodevelopmental prognosis of unilateral neonatal cerebral infarction.
