Neonatal seizures are the most prevalent and distinctive sign of neurologic dysfunction in
early life and pose an immense challenge for clinicians. Improvements in neonatal care …

Seizures are an important sign of neurologic dysfunction in neonates, and they most often
represent acute brain injury such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, stroke, or …

Neonates are exquisitely susceptible to seizures due to several physiologic factors and
combination of risks that are uniquely associated with gestation, delivery, and the immediate …

Neonates are at especially high risk for seizures as compared to other age groups. 1 The
high risk for seizures—and especially acute symptomatic seizures—is likely multifactorial …

Seizures are the most common neurological emergency in the neonates, and this age group
has the highest incidence of seizures compared with any other period of life. The author …

Seizures are the most distinctive and frequent manifestations of neurological disease in the
neonatal period. Compared with seizures in older patients, neonatal seizures have different …

Neonatal seizures are common clinical conditions in both term and preterm neonates, yet no

Epileptic seizures are more frequent in the neonate than at any other time. The incidence of
neonatal seizures (NNS) is estimated to be between 1.5 and 5.5/1000 living births, its onset …

Neonatal seizures occur in their majority in close temporal relation to an acute brain injury or
systemic insult, and are accordingly defined as acute symptomatic or provoked seizures …

The first weeks of life are a time of heightened risk for seizures due to age-dependent
physiologic features of the developing brain that lead to increased neuronal excitation and …
