While infections are third to fifth leading cause of neonatal seizures, it&#8217;s crucial to keep them in mind as a possible differential. My main takeaways were gathering a thorough history, identifying risk factors, and observing clinical features and electrolytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous EEG is the gold standard for detection, where we look for abrupt pattern changes, evolution, and eventual resolution. When it comes to treatment, benzodiazepines are often the first-line choice, but phenobarbital has proven to be the most effective and preferable option within the hospital setting. Both treatments target GABA A receptors, influencing chloride channels in nerve cells.
