What is Neonatal Seizure? How to Treat It?

Neonatal seizure is a temporary disruption of the nervous system caused by various reasons (such as birth injuries, aspiration, metabolic disorders, infections, and congenital malformations), commonly occurring during the neonatal period. It can be either benign or a manifestation of severe illness, with certain effects on brain development. Immediate treatment and cause identification are essential. Febrile seizures typically occur at the early stage of infection when the body temperature exceeds 39°C, but infections in the brain or other organs should be ruled out.
