Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Monochorionic Twins: A Retrospective Observational Single-Center Cohort Study
PAIS in monochorionic twins predominantly affects the recipient twin and can occur in the antenatal, direct perinatal, or postnatal period, with variable stroke patterns and outcomes. We recommend dedicated fetal and postnatal neuroimaging in complicated preterm-born monochorionic twins to detect PAIS and allow early rehabilitation therapy.
