Neonatal seizures are a symptom of a transient disorder of central nervous system function caused by a variety of causes (production injury, hypoxia, metabolic abnormalities, infections, and congenital malformations, etc.), and some neurons in the brain tissue suddenly occur to varying degrees. Abnormal discharge leads to involuntary contraction of the whole body or local muscles. It is common that focalities may be illegible. Migratory clonic limb twitching, alternating hemifacial seizures or primary cerebral subcortical convulsions (respiratory arrest, chewing exercise, persistent episodes of oblique tension in the eye) are common. There are very few episodes of epilepsy.
Closed jaw: This disease is an acute infection caused by tetanus, which is characterized by intermittent muscle tonic spasm and masseter muscle spasm, which is called "dental closure". Patients with a history of trauma and muscle stiffness or paralysis should consider this disease. Tetanus may be confused with bacterial or viral meningoencephalitis, but conscious, cerebrospinal fluid and muscle spasm can be prompted for tetanus. Closed jaws must be differentiated from abscesses around the tonsils or posterior pharyngeal and other local causes. Phenothiazines can cause physiological rigidity.
