A Fundamental Parameters of Neonatal Seizures Include Diagnosis, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis and Complications
Abstract
One neurologic disorder that is often seen, particularly in newborns, is neonatal seizures. The abrupt, paroxysmal, aberrant change in electrographic activity from birth till the end of the neonatal period is how they are described. At this stage, the newborn brain is still developing immaturely. Because of this, newborn seizures have a distinct aetiology and electrographic findings, which might result in clinical presentations that are different (and more challenging to recognise) than those of later age groups. The assessment and management of newborn seizures are explained in this activity.
