A member asked:
Help docs, is hypoxic ischemic encepathalopathy and infant stroke the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hypoxic events tend to involve large areas of the brain and can produce generalized problems like general seizures and defects in several areas of function. An infant stroke would indicate a more localized area of injury with potential for focal seizures and specific loss of function based on the location involved.
