Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy presenting with seizure at birth: a case report and review of the literature.

[neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy]

Neonatal seizures are critical conditions because they are usually related to significant illnesses that require a specific therapy . Antepartum and peripartum seizures are very rare , and represent signs of prenatal -onset neurologic dysfunction . A review of the literature revealed that the main etiologies include severe brain malformations , multiple anomalies , and metabolic encephalopathy . A high incidence of early fatality and serious neurologic sequelae were noted . To our knowledge , this is the first case report of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy presenting with seizure at birth . These very -early -onset seizures may require unique diagnostic and therapeutic considerations , in contrast with the later onset of seizures in neonates .
