Self-limited neonatal-infantile epilepsy

Definition

A rare neonatal-infantile onset epilepsy syndrome characterized by brief focal seizures between the first days and six months of life in otherwise healthy infants. Seizures often occur in clusters and may include motor symptoms and autonomic signs (including apnea and cyanosis). Occasionally generalized seizures are present. Typically, seizures resolve spontaneously without causing any long-term neurological effects.
