Abstract

Abstract: For a good number of years, physician have learnt about the contraindication of diazepam and perhaps benzodiazepines at large in the management of neonatal seizures. However, very few scientific publications give account about underlying patho physiological and pharmacological insights of mechanism involved. As a result, a non or poorly understood categorization of neonatal anticonvulsants is sometimes observed in daily clinical pediatric practice in some settings, with each physician going by his own way of managing seizures in neonates. This with more or less success and consequent adverse effects. This review is intended to contribute to a better understanding of phenomena implicated in the unsuitable use of diazepam beyond other benzodiazepines in the management of neonatal seizures.
