Review of Neonatal Seizure Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Management of seizure activity in the neonatal foal presents a number of challenges. Control of neurological dysfunction and prevention of secondary physical injury is necessary in the first instance. Diagnosis of any underlying medical conditions must occur. Wide-ranging knowledge of the underlying cerebral pathology is essential when formulating a treatment plan. The relatively limited knowledge of and small number of available drugs further complicates both shortand long-term management of seizure activity; however, clinical success is possible with a comprehensive approach to overall patient management.
