Neonatal seizures (NS) constitute a frequent and significant problem in the neonatal period. This medical emergency requires a rapid

diagnostic decision and adequate management. Frequently, they are a symptom of a serious disease, have a negative impact on the

vital functions of newborns and may adversely affect the development of the immature brain. The review provides comprehensive

information about the condition including the latest findings.
