Seizure : the journal of the British Epilepsy Association

At present, neonatal seizures are usually treated with Phenobarbital (PB) despite the limited efficacy and the potential risk this treatment holds for the developing brain. We report here a prospective pilot feasibility study on the use of Levetiracetam as monotherapy in the treatment of neonatal seizures. ⋯ Results from our small patient group indicate that LEV may be an alternative therapeutic option in neonatal seizures.
