“…Neonatal seizures usually manifest with stereotypical muscular activity or autonomic changes, and are a result of abnormal electrical discharges in the central nervous system of neonates, occurring within the first 28 days after birth in fullterm infants or until 44 weeks of gestational age in preterm infants [1,4,7]. The etiologies of neonatal seizures are reported in a broad spectrum, such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), infections, metabolic and electrolyte disturbances, brain injuries, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and brain malformations [1,8]. Extremely preterm infants who are born ≤28 weeks gestational age may be more vulnerable to neonatal seizures than other preterm and term neonates due to the immaturity of their nervous system, and they can have a lot of comorbidities including various disorders of the brain, which may lead to the decrease of seizure threshold [7,9].…”
