Background: Continuous EEG studies demonstrate that neonates with seizures due to cerebral pathology, such as hypoxia ischemia, exhibit predominantly electrographic seizures (i.e. those only detected with EEG because they lack clinical features). Previous small case series demonstrate EEG changes and seizures during hyperammonemia associated with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) but there are no reports utilizing continuous EEG in these conditions. Objective: To characterize seizures and evaluate the utility of continuous EEG recording during hyperammonemia due to inborn errors of metabolism. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records and EEG tracings of neonates who presented with hyperammonemia due to inborn errors of metabolism who had continuous EEG and full medical records available for review, including follow up. Results: Eight neonates with hyperammonemia were studied, 7 had urea cycle defects: Argininosuccinate lyase deficiency [3], (ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency [3], carbomyl phosphate synthase deficiency [1] and one had an organic acidemia: Methylmalonic acidemia [1]. Most common presentations were lethargy and poor feeding at 12-72 h of life. The highest blood ammonia level was 874 mu mol/L (median); range 823-1647 mol/L (normal value < 50 mu mol/L in term neonates). Seven were treated with hemodialysis in addition to nitrogen scavengers. Seven neonates had seizures; six had only electrographic seizures. Seizures initially occurred within 24-36 h of clinical presentation, sometimes with normal ammonia and glutamine levels. Neonates with seizures all lacked state changes on EEG. Inter burst interval duration correlated with degree of hyperammonemia. Two cases with normal plasma ammonia but increasing interburst interval duration were proven to have stroke by MRI. Conclusions: Seizures occur frequently in neonates with hyperammonemia; most can be detected only with continuous EEG. Seizures may occur when ammonia and glutamine levels are normal. Interburst interval duration is associated with ammonia levels or cerebral dysfunction from other brain pathology. Continuous EEG can be a useful tool for managing infants with hyperammonemia and may be essential for seizure management especially for infants in deep metabolic coma.
