Epilepsy, Benign Neonatal

Descriptor Spanish:

Epilepsia Benigna Neonatal

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	epilepsia benigna neonatal
Entry term(s)	convulsiones neonatales benignas
Scope note:	Afección caracterizada por convulsiones recurrentes que se producen durante las primeras 4-6 semanas de la vida a pesar de que hay un curso neonatal benigno. Se han identificado formas familiares autosómicas dominantes y esporádicas. Las convulsiones consisten generalmente en breves episodios de posturas tónicas y de otros movimientos, apnea, desviaciones de los ojos, y fluctuaciones de la presión sanguínea. Estas tienden a remitir después de la sexta semana de vida. El riesgo de padecer epilepsia en edades posteriores es moderadamente alto en la forma familiar de este trastorno. (Neurologia 1996 Feb;11(2):51-5)

Scope note:

A condition marked by recurrent seizures that occur during the first 4-6 weeks of life despite an otherwise benign neonatal course. Autosomal dominant familial and sporadic forms have been identified. Seizures generally consist of brief episodes of tonic posturing and other movements, apnea, eye deviations, and blood pressure fluctuations. These tend to remit after the 6th week of life. The risk of developing epilepsy at an older age is moderately increased in the familial form of this disorder. (Neurologia 1996 Feb;11(2):51-5)
