Causes of Seizures in Neonates - A Tertiary Care Hospital Study in Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Abstract

Seizures is the most common neurological condition of neonates. Recognition of the etiologies of neonatal seizures would enable us to plan effective strategies for the reduc­tion of morbidity and mortality associated with the neonatal seizure. Our objective is to determine the etiology of neonatal seizures along with the frequency of causes of seizures in neonates who presented to the pediatric department of Benazir Bhutto Hospital (BBH) and Holy Family Hospital (HFH), Rawalpindi.
