Abstract
A variety of paroxysmal motor phenomena often occur in newborns, including physiological events(immaturity of the central nervous system)and pathological events(epileptic and non-epileptic). The clinician should be able to properly identify and diagnose the paroxysmal motor phenomena with various etiologies.There are some clinical features that may help clinicians with the differentiation among physiological and pathological, epileptic and non-epileptic events.However, VEEG monitoring is still the gold standard for differentiating the paroxysmal motor phenomena of epileptic and non-epileptic seizures, which can help to further clarify the etiology.In this paper, the clinical features, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and differential diagnoses of non-epileptic paroxysmal motors in newborns were reviewed. Key words: Neonate; Non-epileptic seizures; Tremor; Myoclonus; Dystonia
