Abstract		Background. Cerebral arterial thrombosis is a relatively rare occurrence in the neonatal period. Some children having this condition as neonates, present recurrent local seizures with radiological evidence of acute infarction. Several studies have shown this to be a rare cause of neonatal seizures. Case report. We describe the case of a newborn infant with localized clonic seizures of the lower right extremity on the fourth day of life. Ultrasound examination of the brain showed only mild abnormalities. However Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed evidence of a middle left cerebral arterial infarction. Conclusions. The newer imaging methods, such as central nervous system Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be helpful in the diagnosis of rarer disturbances and can further reveal cases which would otherwise pass unnoticed even where ultrasound imaging is negative.
Summary		Izhodišča. Možganska arterijska tromboza je razmeroma redka pri novorojencih. Pri otrocih, kjer kmalu po rojstvu nastane takšna tromboza, se ponavljajo lokalni akutni klonični krči z radiološko značilnimi znaki akutnega možganskega infarkta. Veliko študij potrjuje, da je ta pojav pri novorojencih zelo redek. Prikaz primera. V članku poročamo o primeru novorojenca, ki je tretji dan po rojstvu prestal napade kloničnih krčev, ki so bili omejeni na desno spodnjo okončino. Ultrazvočna preiskava možganov je pokazala le manjše anomalije, preiskava z magnetno rezonanco pa je odkrila arterijski infarkt v srednjem delu možgan levo. Zaključki. Novejše metode slikovne diagnostike, na primer slikanje centralnega živčnega sistema z magnetno rezonanco, so zelo uporabne v diagnostiki manj pogostih bolezenskih motenj in pri odkrivanju primerov, ki jih po negativni preiskavi z ultrazvokom ne bi izsledili.
