Residual injury after perinatal arterial ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory usually involves the loss of cortical gray matter and subcortical white matter. In this article, we describe a different pattern of residual injury after middle cerebral artery stroke in preterm-born infants, in which the cortex is spared.
