Acute leucoencephalopathy in neonate due to rotavirus infection

Discussion:

Neonatal seizures can be due to multiple causes.  Rotavirus infection in children is common, resulting in diarrhea. Neurological manifestations are less frequently seen. Neonates with history of rotavirus infection usually present with seizures or encephalopathy on day 5 (fifth day fits) of life and this may be associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes of different degrees of severity. Follow-up imaging is essential.
