. We report a case of multiple idiopathic emboli leading to cerebral infarction and to limb ischaemia in a full term neonate. The increased frequency of diagnosis of cerebral infarction is highlighted. Treatment of cerebral and limb emboli is discussed and the need for further research into the causes and treatment of cerebral infarction is stressed.
