	eMedicine - Benign Neonatal Convulsions : Article by Nancy Rodgers-Neame, MD
		Do not treat neonates in whom benign convulsions are suspected with valproate because of increased risk of liver failure with the drug and the benign nature of the syndrome.
		Neonates whose mothers have been exposed to drugs (both prescribed and otherwise) may have active cytochrome P-450 enzymes, and unexposed neonates have initial low activities that increase rapidly with the introduction of drugs such as phenobarbital.
		However, benign neonatal convulsions are a retrospective diagnosis and frequently present a difficult diagnostic and treatment dilemma even to the most experienced clinicians.

	Epilepsy - UMMC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		What all types of epilepsy share is an uncontrolled electrical discharge from nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that integrates higher mental functions, general movement, the functions of the internal organs in the abdominal cavity, perception, and behavioral reactions.
		In the US more than 2.3 million people are affected by seizures, and an estimated 3% of the population (about 7.2 million people) will experience at least one seizure during their lifetime, not counting the 5% of children who have seizures caused by fevers.
		A partial, or focal, seizure is the more common type of epilepsy and is caused by a disorder of the neurons in a specific site on one side of the brain.

		The Moro reflex is present in its full form until age 3 months, and in a incomplete form until age 5 months.
		Newborns with a rare genetic disorder, benign familial neonatal convulsions, begin having frequent brief seizures in the first few days of life.
		The disorder usually is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene (that is, one parent also had the disorder) but it may also result from a spontaneous mutation in the child's DNA.

		If epilepsy is not effectively treated and the patient has continuing seizures, changes in the neurons may eventually cause intractable (also known as refractive) epilepsy, that is, epilepsy that is hard to control.
		Children with epilepsy that is a symptoms of a another condition (for example, a head injury or neurologic condition) have higher mortality rates than the normal population, but their lower survival rates are due to the underlying condition not the epilepsy itself.
		In one study of adult-onset epilepsy, it was discovered that after one year of treatment, 70% of patients experienced complete control of their seizures, 14% had occasional seizures, and 16% were unable to control the seizures.

	Epilepsy
		Epilepsy may be the most common genetic neurologic disease, but dozens of genetic syndromes representing a variety of seizure patterns may account for the different forms this disease takes.
		Children with epilepsy that is a result of a specific condition (for example, a head injury or neurologic disorder) have higher mortality rates than the normal population, but their lower survival rates are most often due to the underlying condition not the epilepsy itself.
		Folic acid is recommended for all pregnant women, in any case, and those with epilepsy should talk with their physician about taking a supplement of folic acid (5 mg) at least three months before conception, if possible, as well as during the first trimester.
