title: Valproic acid in neonatal status convulsivus.
abstract: Valproic acid infused rectally was successful in controlling seizures in two neonates who failed to respond to conventional anti-convulsive therapy. We suggest that this drug may be a useful adjuvant in difficult cases of status convulsivus in neonates.
