Electroencephalographic characteristics of epileptic seizures in preterm neonates

Although seizures are more common in the neonatal period than in any other stage of childhood, those in preterm neonates are still poorly described. The aim of this study was to assess electro-clinical characteristics of seizures occurring before a corrected age of 40 weeks in neonates born prematurely. Retrospective analysis of EEG-documented seizures in neonates born prematurely. Seizures in a group of term neonates served as controls....
