    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Two infants experienced near-miss sudden infant death syndrome events and seizures after caffeine. This suggests caffeine may lower the seizure threshold in infants with apnea and seizure disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal neurology
    • Pediatric critical care

    Background:

    • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains a concern.
    • Apnea is a common symptom in infants presenting with SIDS events.

    Observation:

    • Two infants experienced near-miss SIDS events.
    • These infants developed seizure disorders following caffeine administration.

    Findings:

    • Caffeine treatment may be associated with the onset of seizures in infants with near-miss SIDS.
    • A subgroup of infants with near-miss SIDS and apnea may have a lowered seizure threshold.

    Implications:

    • Central nervous system stimulants like caffeine might precipitate seizures in susceptible infants.
    • Further research is needed to identify infants at risk for caffeine-induced seizures.
