Risk factors for developing epilepsy after neonatal seizures.
The objective of this study was to determine clinical and polysomnographic risk factors that might be early predictors for the development of postnatal epilepsy in a cohort of infants with seizures. The study sample included 158 infants who presented two or more clinically proven seizures. Gestational, perinatal, and polysomnographic data were obtained retrospectively. A questionnaire designed ...
متن کاملNeonatal seizures.
In childhood, the risk for seizures is greatest in the neonatal period. Currently used therapies have limited efficacy. Although the treatment of neonatal seizures has not significantly changed in the past several decades, there has been substantial progress in understanding developmental mechanisms that influence seizure generation and responsiveness to anticonvulsants. This review includes an...
متن کاملNeonatal seizures
The incidence of seizures in infants born at term is 0.53 per 1000 live births; the incidence is even higher in preterm infants, ranging from 113% of very low birthweight infants3. Variations of described numbers of incidence can be explained by different diagnostic definitions and methods used. Most of these epidemiological studies include only clinical seizures. The exact incidence of elect...
متن کاملNeonatal seizures.
Seizures in neonates are common and often suggest a serious underlying brain injury such as hypoxia-ischemia, stroke, or hemorrhage. There is a lack of evidence regarding optimal monitoring, evaluation, and treatment for newborns with seizures. Prolonged video-electroencephalogram (EEG) is the gold standard for detecting seizures, whereas amplitude-integrated EEG may be a convenient and useful ...
متن کاملNeonatal seizures and syndromes.
Neonatal seizures frequently accompany neonatal encephalopathies. Seizures occur in approximately 1.8-5/1,000 live births in this country and are caused by virtually any condition that affects neonatal brain function. This review provides a simple classification of seizures and emphasizes that many abnormal intermittent behaviors in this age group are not accompanied by ictal EEG patterns. Addi...
