Benign familial neonatal convulsions: generalized epilepsy?
A 3-year-old girl is presented with benign familial neonatal convulsions. She had seizures during the neonatal period and at age 3 months. Seizure manifestations and ictal electroencephalography indicated that she had not experienced generalized seizures but partial seizures, although international classifications of epilepsy define benign familial neonatal convulsions as generalized epilepsy.
