Are there anything in the history that may indicate an increased risk of seizures, especially hypoxia?

Have you yet done EEG and ultrasound of the brain?

Are the seizures resistant to anti-convulsant drugs?

Generally neonatal seizures with a potentially reassuring neurologic examination can reveal cerebralstroke on brain TDM or MRI...
In this case, we rapidly stop anticonvulsivant therapy
