Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of seizures.
We present a case of fetal diagnosed by ultrasound. Clinical aspects of this patient and the differential diagnosis of early neonatal seizures are discussed. A diagnosis of fetal seizures confirmed by ultrasonography is a rare event. Review of the literature shows only four cases of documented fetal seizures. This report describes a case of fetal seizures diagnosed in utero, its management, and the neonatal outcome. We also discuss the differential diagnosis.
