ABSTRACT
Neonatal seizures may be both over-and underdiagnosed. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures do not occur in neonates, in whom most seizures are localized (focal), fragmentary clonic, tonic or myoclonic. Many seizures are subtle and consist only of abnormal movement patterns such as mouthing/chewing, bicycling or boxing, or apnea and, thus, may easily go unrecognized.
