Abstract
Benign neonatal convulsions are classified into benign idiopathic neonatal convulsions(fifth day fits) and benign familial neonatal convulsions. Benign familial neonatal convulsions occur mostly on the second and third days of life with f amily history of autosomal 4ominant trait. The prognosis is favourable but idiopathic epilepsy m ay occur in 5 percent of patients. Benign idiopathic neonatal convulsions ocurr around the fifth day of life without known etiology. Most of them have a favourable outcome too. Interictal EEG abnormality such as 'alternating sharp theta' are seen in most of cases.
Key Words: Benign neonatal convulsions
