Seizures in newborns: The missing evidence

Key Points

• Neonatal seizures often go undiagnosed, which may lead to complications in newborns' health.
• Studies indicate that approximately 40% of newborns with seizures experience long-term neurological issues, emphasizing early intervention.
• Assessment using electroencephalography aims to enhance the diagnosis of seizures in neonatal populations.
• This highlights the urgent need for improved screening methods to prevent complications among newborns.
