Common causes of neonatal convulsions include hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial hemorrhage, infections, especially intracranial infections, neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy, hypoglycemia, and ionic disorders, such as hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyponatremia, all of which can cause the child to convulse.
