Guidelines on neonatal seizures

Overview

Neonatal seizures represent one of the most frequent neurological events in newborn infants, often reflecting a variety of different pre-, peri-, or postnatal disorders of the central nervous systems (CNS).

These guidelines are intended to be of use for neonatologists, pediatric neurologists, pediatricians, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health professionals who may be in contact with infants experiencing seizures within the first 28 days of life.
