Abstract |
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) accounts for 60% of all neonatal seizures. There is emerging evidence that seizures cause additional injury to the developing brain that has sustained hypoxic ischemic injury. Temporal evolution of clinical seizure burden in HIE has been characterized, with maximum clinical seizure burden (the period of maximum seizure activity) being observed between 12 and 24 h of age. The purpose of our study was to investigate the distribution of electrographic seizure burden (the accumulated duration of seizures over a defined time period), following the initial hypoxic ischemic insult. |
