Published as a retrospective study from CHOP, Philadelphia in Journal of Child Neurology. Twenty three neonates were given levetiracetam in a dosage of 16mg/kg +/- 6mg/kg.
Levetiracetam was associated with a greater than 50% seizure reduction in 35% (8 of 23), including seizure termination in 7. Further study is warranted to determine optimal levetiracetam dosing in neonates and to compare efficacy with other antiseizure medications.
