BACKGROUND:: The neonatal period eclipses all other epochs of the human life span for
the highest incidence of seizures. Neonatal seizures are most commonly incited by serious …

In childhood, the risk of seizures is highest in the neonatal period (1.8 to 3.5/1000 live births
in the United States). Neonatal seizures (NS) are associated with high mortality and …

Neonatal seizures are an important example of an age-specific seizure syndrome.
Compared with seizures at older ages, neonatal seizures differ in etiology, semiology, and …

There is increasing evidence that neonatal seizures have an adverse effect on
neurodevelopmental progression and may predispose to cognitive, behavioural, or epileptic …

One of the highest risk periods for seizures during the human life span is the first month of
