Sumario: | Benign familial neonatal epilepsy is a syndrome characterized by recurrent seizures occurring in the neonatal period. Seizures commonly begin at day 3 of life and usually abate by 1 to 4 months of life. Seizures are usually described as tonic with an asymmetric component with associated autonomic features. The authors report a newborn presenting with an unusual electroclinical phenotype. The electroencephalogram demonstrated an unusual pattern of electrical attenuation at the onset of seizures. Identification of these features is important for early recognition of this neonatal syndrome, as well as initiation of proper therapy. |
