Abstract
Introduction: Seizures is one of the most common neurologic disorders seen in children, with the highest incidence in the first year of life. Electroencephalography and neuroimaging can be critical in determining etiology and syndrome.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical profile of children having seizures including its type and its correlation with EEG and various types of ring lesions found on cranial CT and also to assess the cases showing ring lesions on cranial CT of enhancing and non enhancing types.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted over two years at Sarawathi Institute of Medical Sciences, involving 150 infants meeting inclusion criteria. A detailed clinical history and physical examination was obtained from each patient and their parents, to find out previous episodes of seizures and were subjected to various investigations.
Results: Among the 150 infants studied, 55.4% of low birth weight infants and a significant portion of high-risk infants experienced hypoglycemia within the first 48 hours. Factors such as birth weight, gestational age, and maternal health significantly influenced glucose levels.
Conclusion: The study highlights the prevalence of hypoglycemia in exclusively breastfed high-risk newborns, emphasizing the need for targeted monitoring and early intervention strategies to optimize neonatal health outcomes.
