Most seizures start with tonic motor activity and posturing with apnea followed by vocalizations, ocular symptoms, other autonomic features, motor automatisms, chewing, and focal or generalized clonic movements. The clonic components of the later phase are usually asymmetrical and unilateral. The post-ictal state is brief. Inter-ictally the neonates are normal. Pure clonic or focal seizures are considered rare.
