Seizures in the juvenile patient.
- Authors

- Abstract
Neurology is often seen as a disengaging subject, with seizures representing a manifestation of the dysfunctional 'black-box' we know as the brain. Seizures in small and fragile juvenile patients can quickly become life-threatening, demanding critical attention and informed intervention. This, when combined with the emotions of the owner, can lead to a very stressful environment in which time is of the essence and clear thinking is the key to success. A structured approach to investigating the problem allows optimal management of these cases, giving these altricial patients every chance of success. This article will discuss some conditions that are specific to these patients, and explain how best to treat and manage them.
