Neonate with benign familial neonatal convulsions: recorded generalized and focal seizures.
A neonate with benign familial neonatal convulsions is presented. Ictal electroencephalography demonstrated a seizure of right frontal onset with generalization and one of right frontal onset which remained confined to that hemisphere. Very few ictal recordings of this entity exist. In this patient a partial seizure and a seizure with generalization were recorded, emphasizing the difficulties with the present classification.
