AB Benign  familial  neonatal  convulsions  (BFNC)  and  benign  nonfamilial  neonatal  convulsions  (BNFNC)  should  be  suspected  in  healthy-looking  neonates  with  no  interictal  neurological  deficit.  These  syndromes  should  be  considered  only  after  excluding  benign  nonepileptic  paroxysmal  motor  events  such  as  benign  neonatal  sleep  myoclonus  and  behavioral  movements,  etiological-treatable  seizures  such  as  those  due  to  sepsis  and  hypoglycemia,  and  more  frequent  causes  of  neonatal  seizures  associated  with  normal  interictal  neurological  examinations  such  as  subarachnoid  bleed  and  hypocalcemia.
