Summary Recordings were made from 20 newborns during seizures in their first days of life, using a polygraphic study enabling observation of electro-clinical seizures, electric seizures, and seizures with no EEG transfer. The interictal EEG as well as the duration of status epilepticus are discussed. An estimation of the prognosis from the EEG clinical criteria is envisaged. CT scans and ultrasound scans were performed in serious cases of neonatal distress responsible for status epilepticus; these showed diffused or localized oedema of the white matter, either isolated or associated with intracranial hemorrhagic lesions. |
