CLINICAL AND LABORATORY MANIFESTATIONS AND PECULIARITIES OF INSTRUMENTAL DIAGNOSTICS OF CONVULSIVE SYNDROME IN NEWBORNS OF GRODNO REGION
A retrospective analysis of 75 case histories of newborns in the city of Grodno and the Grodno region with convulsive syndrome was carried out. The main causal factors in the development of convulsive syndrome in newborns were hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system (85.3%), infections specific to the perinatal period (69.3%), and metabolic disorders (32%). A high frequency of convulsive syndrome occurred in the early neonatal period (81.3%, р=0,00001). In the clinical picture in every second case, motor automatisms and clonic convulsive contractions prevailed. Intracranial hemorrhages were diagnosed in every fifth case of convulsive syndrome in newborns.
