[Neonatal convulsions: the current concepts and classification].

The authors presented a new classification of the neonatal convulsions, based on prolonged EEG registrations related to concomitant clinical or videorecording of fits. They focussed on the atypical neonatal convulsions and on the differential diagnosis between epileptic and nonepileptic seizures. Finally, they discussed the therapeutical consequences of these new conceptions about the conclusions in the neonate.
