Abstract
An infant with benign familial neonatal convulsions fortuitously had a clinical seizure during a routine EEG. The seizures had started on day 2 of life, and the EEG recording was performed on day 6. The EEG, although not complete, did show a simultaneous electrographic seizure. Our finding establishes that benign familial neonatal convulsions are indeed epileptic.
