Abstract

The article discusses the observation of fetal seizures on ultrasound and their significance in diagnosing and treating neonatal epileptic encephalopathy. It presents a case study of a woman with a history of bipolar I disorder who had a previous pregnancy complicated by severe fetal anomalies and a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the SCN2A gene. The article emphasizes the importance of early detection of fetal seizures through ultrasound to guide diagnosis and treatment decisions, highlighting the variability in clinical manifestations associated with SCN2A variants.
