Incidence of perinatal arterial stroke (ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage) occurring between 20 weeks of gestation and postnatal day 28 ranges between 20 and 65 cases per 100,000 living births. In children aged 29 days to 18 years old, the total incidence is 1.3 to 4.3 for 100,000 per year. In France, almost 450 children are hospitalized for a stroke each year, among them approximately half have an intracerebral hemorrhage.
