Research Interest:

Neonatal seizures are a commonly encountered neurologic condition in neonates. They are defined as sudden, paroxysmal, abnormal alteration of electrographic activity from birth to the end of the neonatal period. During this period, the neonatal brain is developmentally immature. Thus, neonatal seizures have unique pathophysiology and electrographic findings resulting in clinical manifestations that can be different (and more difficult to identify) compared to older age groups. We will review the etiology, evaluation and treatment of neonatal seizures.
