Neonatal seizures are common among patients with acute brain injury or critical illness and can be difficult to diagnose and treat. The most common etiology of neonatal seizures is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, with other common causes including ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. Neonatal clinicians can use a standardized approach to patients with suspected or confirmed neonatal seizures that entails laboratory testing, neuromonitoring, and brain imaging. The primary goals of management of neonatal seizures are to identify the underlying cause, correct it if possible, and prevent further brain injury. This article reviews recent evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of neonatal seizures and discusses the long-term outcomes of patients with neonatal seizures.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor disability in children. Insults to the brain at different times lead to diverse injuries. As a result, CP is an extremely heterogeneous clinical diagnosis, presenting differently in each individual and at various ages. With improving survival rates of preterm newborns, increasing active resuscitation of extremely preterm newborns, and widespread availability of extensive genetic testing soon after birth, it is imperative to focus on earlier diagnosis and long-term outcomes of CP. CP is primarily classified into 4 categories based on type of motor impairment, functional ability, distribution, and etiology. As the understanding of CP has evolved significantly in the last 2 decades, the methods of early detection of CP have consequently advanced. Appropriate diagnosis is essential for proper education and counseling of affected families, and introduction of therapeutic interventions as early as possible. In this review, we focus on early brain development and provide an overview of the etiology, classification, diagnosis, early therapeutic options, and prognosis of CP.
