Patient's question:
I would like to ask for some information. What are the reasons for convulsions in newborns? It's very worrying. I'm not very knowledgeable about this area. Please help me out. Can you help me with an explanation? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
It could be neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy caused by poor conditions at birth. It might also be due to disturbances in electrolyte balance. Seizures in newborns are often associated with intracranial disorders. There may be congenital underdevelopment of the brain and skull. It could also be due to postnatal asphyxia and hypoxia or intracranial infections. Of course, electrolyte disturbances are also common causes. Hypocalcemia and hyponatremia are also common causes. There may be other reasons as well. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible for a clear diagnosis and further treatment.
