Perinatal stroke causes most term-born hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Many suffer additional sequelae. Periventricular venous infarction (PVI) is a common fetal stroke in which isolated subcortical injury may cause only motor deficits. However, cognitive, language, and behavioral deficits also occur. We hypothesized that ipsilesional cortical gray matter volumes are reduced in PVI.
