Recurrent fetal seizures diagnosed in the offspring of consanguineous parents

Abstract: Fetal seizures are relatively rare and most often associated with anomalies or adverse neonatal outcome. We describe a patient who presented in both her G1 and G2 pregnancies with fetal seizures. The second pregnancy was a twin gestation in which only one twin was affected. The fetal seizures were noted by the patient as “extreme rhythmic movement” and were observed on ultrasound. Both neonates were diagnosed with a seizure disorder within 1 day of life. Currently, the seizures are controlled by medication; however, both children have some developmental delay. Additionally, the patient and her partner are consanguineous, suggesting a likely genetic etiology. In utero diagnosis of fetal seizures warrants a multidisciplinary approach to attempt to further define prognosis and provide appropriate treatment and counseling.
