Abstract

An encyclopedia entry for "Neonatal Seizures" is presented. It offers clinical information on neonatal seizures, which occur during the first four weeks of life. Neonatal seizures include clonic seizures, myoclonic and tonic seizures. It may also manifest with eye movements, poorly coordinated limb movements and apneic episodes. Its clinical management may include supportive child care, and judicious utilization of antiepileptic drugs (AED).
