Neonatal seizures: a reappraisal.
Sixty-three infants with neonatal seizures were studied in terms of etiology, seizure type, electroencephalograms, and outcome. Twenty-nine percent were normal when followed for up to five years; twenty-nine percent were brain damaged, and twenty-five percent expired. In spite of improved obstetrical care, the occurrence of neonatal seizures may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
