Madam, First I would like to thank Dr Rafay for the comments on this important issue. I agree that the terminologies and definitions have been redefined and very recently published in Pediatrics.
As this was a very recent definition and the main idea was to relay and disseminate the very important issue of arterial ischaemic stroke in the perinatal period and to increase the awareness of the possibility of stroke in the early neonatal period, that the terminology was used as previously.
However, I agree with the comments that Ischaemic Perinatal Stroke (IPS) would be the terminology that should be in use in future.
