Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Pediatrics Science & Technology
Neonatal seizures are prevalent in premature babies and can be the earliest sign of neurological abnormalities. Seizures in newborns are clinically significant and further inquiry leading to a solid identification of the underlying disease can aid with prognosis and treatment options. We report a male neonate born at 27 + 6 weeks of gestation. An intractable seizure developed at 9 days of age. The diagnosis is confirmed based on genetic testing.
