Abstract
Objective: To employ the neonatal seizure framework developed by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Neonatal Task force to assess its usefulness in determining the etiology of neonatal seizures.
Methods: The members of the ILAE Neonatal Task Force evaluated 157 seizures from 146 neonates to determine internal validity and associations between semiology and a specific etiology.
Results: Provoked neonatal electrographic and electroclinical seizures were due to multiple etiologies. For electroclinical seizures, unilateral clonic seizures were typically seen with vascular etiologies, focal tonic seizures and sequential seizures with genetic etiologies, and myoclonic seizures with inborn errors of metabolism. Electrographic seizures were often seen in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or vascular etiologies.
Significance: These data suggest that the ILAE neonatal seizure classification may be used as a bedside tool to aid and guide workup to determine the etiology of seizures.
期刊介绍:
Epileptic Disorders is the leading forum where all experts and medical studentswho wish to improve their understanding of epilepsy and related disorders can share practical experiences surrounding diagnosis and care, natural history, and management of seizures.
Epileptic Disorders is the official E-journal of the International League Against Epilepsy for educational communication. As the journal celebrates its 20th anniversary, it will now be available only as an online version. Its mission is to create educational links between epileptologists and other health professionals in clinical practice and scientists or physicians in research-based institutions. This change is accompanied by an increase in the number of issues per year, from 4 to 6, to ensure regular diffusion of recently published material (high quality Review and Seminar in Epileptology papers; Original Research articles or Case reports of educational value; MultiMedia Teaching Material), to serve the global medical community that cares for those affected by epilepsy.
