Electroencephalographic monitoring for seizure identification and prognosis in term neonates
2018, Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Each of these problems is discussed below. A major issue with clinical diagnosis of seizures is the high incidence of EEG-only (non-convulsive, subclinical, occult) seizures in neonates [7–14]. Numerous studies have indicated that about 80–90% of EEG seizures in neonates have no associated clinical correlate, and therefore would not be identified without continuous EEG monitoring even by expert and observant bedside clinicians [3,9,13,15–18].
Neonatal Seizures
2018, Volpe's Neurology of the NewbornCertain secondary antiepileptic drugs can rescue hippocampal injury following a critical growth period despite poor anticonvulsant activity and cognitive deficits
2013, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Children are at a particularly high risk for seizures which can occur in association with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy, and general cognitive impairment, as well as a high mortality rate following neonatal seizures [1–7].
Neonatal seizure recognition - Comparative study of continuous-amplitude integrated EEG versus short conventional EEG recordings
2011, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :The incidence of seizures in the neonatal period is considerably higher than in any other age group (Hauser et al., 1996; Levene, 2002). Clinical diagnosis of neonatal seizures is difficult in view of the paucity of clinical correlates, normal neonatal behaviours mimicking seizure activity and, sometimes, the absence of any significant clinical event (Clancy and Legido, 1988; Scher et al., 1989; Shany et al., 2006; Bye et al., 2000). Early and aggressive treatment of neonatal seizures is considered beneficial, as seizures may contribute to the cerebral insult of an already-compromised central nervous system (van Rooij et al., 2010; Glass et al., 2009).
The Long-Term Effects of Neonatal Seizures
2009, Clinics in PerinatologyCitation Excerpt :Consequently, the prognosis for the infants is usually poor. Death, postneonatal epilepsy, behavioral problems, and mental retardation are common outcomes.23–27 However, outcome studies are somewhat difficult to interpret because of the uncertainty of diagnosis in some series.
