title: [Genetic encephalopathies in a newborn].
abstract: The clinical manifestations of neonatal encephalopathies lack specificity and may present with predominantly seizures, hypotonia or coma. We have selected several examples of neonatal encephalopathies which are of special interest because of their genetic origin and present their clinical features, typical course and, when available, treatment.
