Seizures in the newborn

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
Seizures in the newborn period constitute a medical emergency. Subtle seizures are the commonest type of neonatal seizures, other types being clonic, tonic, and myoclonic. Myoclonic seizures carry the worst prognosis in terms of long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most common cause of neonatal seizures. Multiple

The Kynurenines and the Seizures

1996
At present, patients with epilepsy are resistant against all antiepileptic drugs in 15–25 per cent of cases. Hence the search for new pathogenetically sound approaches to treatment of this disease. Different neuroactive substances have been studied, of them kynurenines attracting a particular attention.

Neonatal seizures

2013
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 being during the first week in 80% of cases. Mortality rate remains very high (20-45%).
