[Brain abscess in the newborn infant (27 cases: initial electroclinical study, course].
The authors studied 27 brain abscesses in neonates. The neonates were divided in two groups: neonates with seizures and neonates without seizures. The authors tested the diagnostic and predictive value of the initial EEG aspect. They noted the absence of correlation between EEG focal abnormalities and localizations shown by the CT scan. They observed a severe electroclinical evolution in more than fifty percent of the cases presented.
