When caring for a baby who is younger than two years old, you may focus on the usual development milestones like weight gain and head circumference. However, it may be worthwhile for paediatric specialists and parents to work together to identify if the baby has any neurological disorders.
"This is a critical period of brain development, so the consequences are a lot more severe. If a baby's brain can't process information well, they may lose a lot in terms of their ultimate development".
In turn, undiagnosed seizures can lead to future trouble concentrating, remembering, and ability to learn. It can even be life-threatening.
About 100 per 100,000 infants will suffer seizures, which may be difficult to recognize, even as an expert or parent. Some clues to various types of infantile seizures include:
- Random and abrupt pause in activity with the eyes slightly gazing to the side
- Arms or legs moving repeatedly and rhythmically and cannot be stopped
- Repeated spasms
- Sudden tonic posturing — the forearms are held flexed or extended for several seconds
Generalized convulsing is rarely seen in infants. Instead, focal
seizures and epileptic spasms are more common. A spasm can be as subtle as
upward eye deviation or brief stiffness in the baby's back. More pronounced
signs may include the baby's arms coming up with a slight head nod and their
eyes rolling up.
While this type of movement may look like the baby is just startled,
spasms may occur for five to ten seconds in a cluster for several minutes when
the baby first wakes up or is going to sleep. The baby may appear calm or cry
in between the spasms, and they are likely to occur every day.
Parents who think they have seen these symptoms are encouraged to record
the baby during a suspected seizure. However, if the caregiver is confident the
baby has had any of these symptoms, it is important to see a specialist as soon
as possible.
