Question

What is the emergency management for neonatal tetany seizures?

Answer

When a neonate experiences tetany seizures, an immediate electroencephalogram should be performed to assist in diagnosis. This condition primarily manifests as behavioral disturbances accompanied by convulsions, with severe cases potentially leading to consciousness impairment. Treatment may include carbamazepine tablets, and gamma knife therapy may be considered if necessary. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
