Introduction : Neonatal seizures are usually an acute manifestation of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Its incidence in population-based studies ranges from 1-5:1000 live births (Lombroso, 1996) in studies of high-risk population from tertiary hospitals and/or neonatal intensive care units it is significantly higher (Da Silva et al., 2004; Nunes et al., 2008). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and neurological prognosis of children who had seizures in the neonatal period, checking the incidence and impact of the occurrence of postnatal epilepsy in relation to neuropsychomotor development and quality of sleep.Methods : A cross sectional study was carried out in historical cohort of infants who had seizures confirmed by clinical observation and EEG or video EEG, during hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of São Lucas Hospital, Pontifical Catholic University Hospital of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) in the period from January 2004 to December 2009. The study included 42 neonates, of which it was possible to follow up on 22, which were evaluated when the neuropsychomotor development through the Denver II triage test; sleep habits by the Inventory of Sleep Habits for Preschool Children; occurrence of post neonatal epilepsy by Questionnaire of Neurologic Tracking for Epilepsy (QNT-E) and the neurological diagnostic interview for epilepsy (NDIE).Results : There was no significant difference between children with and without follow-up when compared clinical perinatal data and EEG findings. In the group with follow-up was observed a high percentage of patients who developed epilepsy during the first year of life (45.5%, n = 10). It was observed a predominance of changes in Denver II test in children with epilepsy, where all of them showed abnormal or questionable results (p = 0.001). The inventory of sleep results were higher in children without epilepsy. The average difference of result for the inventory between the groups with and without epilepsy was 13.25 (95% confidence interval = 1.39 to 25.11, p = 0.030).Conclusion : The present study showed high incidence of epilepsy after neonatal crisis and association with indicators of delayed neuropsychomotor development. The sleep habits were more regular and appropriate in children with epilepsy.
