Neonatal cerebral infarction or neonatal stroke is the second most common cause of neonatal seizures in term new born babies. It remains one of the least recognised entities in the neonatal text books and the awareness of its existence among general practitioners and practising paediatricians is very low. Cranial Ultrasound Scan (USS) is the standard imaging used by neonatologists and many neonatal intensive care units have their own scanners. However, USS may give a false sense of security especially in the term neonates and we report a case of neonatal cerebral infarction here and the need for computerised tomography (CT) for imaging.
新生儿脑梗死或新生儿卒中是足月儿新生儿惊厥的第二大常见病因。它仍然是新生儿教科书中最不为人所知的病症之一，全科医生和执业儿科医生对其存在的认知度非常低。头颅超声扫描（USS）是新生儿科医生使用的标准成像检查，许多新生儿重症监护病房都有自己的扫描仪。然而，USS可能会给人一种虚假的安全感，尤其是在足月儿中，我们在此报告一例新生儿脑梗死病例以及使用计算机断层扫描（CT）进行成像检查的必要性。
