What is the cause of neonatal convulsions

Neonatal convulsions are caused by pathological conditions. The most common disease is neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, but also due to some infectious factors, such as meningitis, brain abscess, sepsis, etc., especially purulent meningitis and sepsis caused by neonatal convulsions are more common. When the newborn has convulsions accompanied by changes in primitive reflexes, abnormal muscle tone and other manifestations, this needs to be combined with blood biochemical examination, brain B ultrasound or CT examination, and brain electrophysiological examination to make a judgment, find out the cause, and actively treat. For neonatal convulsions, first of all, convulsions should be controlled, and brain edema and supportive therapy should be treated. However, simple neonatal convulsions also need to be differentiated from physiological conditions. When neonatal convulsions accompanied by other symptoms need to be treated as soon as possible.
