N2 - Background: Neonatal stroke remains a rare condition that has not yet been assessed in the field of endovascular treatment.Case: We present the first case report of a successful mechanical thrombectomy in a newborn with a basilar occlusion the treatment was 14 hours after birth. Complete reperfusion of the basilar artery was achieved after the two thrombectomy maneuvers with stent retrievers. Imaging follow-up proved patency of the target vessel and at day 30, the patient showed no neurologic deficits.Conclusions: Mechanical thrombectomy appears to be technically feasible and can be an individual option in selected cases to treat stroke in neonates with proven persistent proximal cerebral artery occlusion.
