Summary
This podcast will give you an approach to neonatal seizures. In this episode, listeners will learn 1) how to describe the clinical presentation of different type of neonatal seizures, 2) recognize that neonatal seizures can present similar to non-epileptic neonatal behaviours and be able to contrast seizure presentations from non-epileptic behaviour, 3) Identify the risk factors that predispose neonates to seizures, 4) Describe common causes of seizures in the neonate, 5) Identify the different investigations to employ when working up a neonate for seizures, and 6) Discuss treatment options for neonatal seizures. This podcast was created by Gurleen Cheema, a third-year medical student at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with Dr. Lauren Sham, a pediatric neurologist and epileptologist and the Medical Director of the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Program at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, Canada. An author of this podcast has financial support from LivaNova and Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
