Cerebral hemodynamics in newborns with seizures

Abstract

The research deals with cerebral hemodynamics in newborns with seizures. The study involved examination (including Doppler neurosonography of cerebral vessels and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography) of 56 infants undergoing neonatal intensive care. The study showed that 37.5% of neonates had convulsions (including 17.9% with atypical subclinical seizures). Disorders of cerebral hemodynamics in neonates with seizures were characterized by hyperperfusion in 52.4% and hypoperfusion in 33.3% of infants.
