Pt treated at home, goes to hospital for respiratory management
Neural Tube Defects
Give this one a try later!
Ancepahaly- both cerebral hemisphers are absent
Encephalocele- protrusion meninges or meninges-covered brain through a
defect in the skull producing a fluid-filled sac; can be frontal or posterior
Spina bifada- most common
Febrile Seizures
Give this one a try later!
, Associated with a fever that is not the result of intracranial infection or
metabolic imbalance, and are usually related to viral illness

developing epilepsy
