Myoclonic Seizures and Lactic Acidemia in a Term Newborn Born with No History of Asphyxia
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT We here report an unusual case of a term neonate who presented with myoclonic seizures and lactic acidemia at 30 hours of life, who was later on diagnosed as a case of pyridoxine dependant epilepsy. Pyridoxine dependant epilepsy is one of the rare but easily treatable causes of refractory neonatal seizures. Failure to diagnose and treat this condition early would result in devastating neurodevelopmental outcomes for the surviving newborn.
