Neonatal seizures classification

Neonatal seizures are abnormal brain activities in newborns, indicating potential neurological issues. They are typically classified based on how and where they occur in the brain. "Focal seizures" start in one specific area and may cause twitching or eye movements on one side. "Generalized seizures" involve both sides of the brain, leading to widespread movements or body stiffening. Additionally, seizures can be classified by their appearance, like subtle movements or more obvious clonic jerks. This classification helps healthcare providers determine the cause and best treatment for the baby.
