Abstract
Nowadays, no general consensus was achieved regarding neonatal status epilepticus and its definition. Indeed, different criteria (mainly based on seizure duration) were used. Whereas a recent proposal has been developed to define status epilepticus in older ages, it seems that the peculiar characteristics of neonatal seizures and of the immature brain make difficult to find a tailored definition for this period of life. Achieving a consensus on this entity would mean to make the first step toward a targeted therapeutic strategy of intervention.
