neonatal epileptic encephalopathy
Neonatal epileptic encephalopathy is a severe neurological condition that occurs in newborns, characterized by frequent seizures and abnormal brain activity. It typically arises within the first few days of life and can be caused by various factors, including genetic mutations, brain malformations, or metabolic disorders.
The condition can lead to significant developmental delays and long-term neurological issues. Diagnosis often involves electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor brain activity, and treatment may include medications to control seizures. Early intervention is crucial for improving outcomes and supporting the child's development.
