Epilepsies are a diverse group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. One-third of epilepsies are refractory to standard antiseizure medications. Epilepsy incidence is age-dependent with high incidence in neonates and infants. Epilepsy syndromes are classified based on clinical, electrographic, neuroimaging, age-dependent features of onset and the possibility of remission. Advances in genetic testing technology and improved access to clinical genetic testing, including whole exome sequencing, have facilitated a fundamental shift in gene discovery of monogenetic and polygenetic epilepsy, leading to precision medicine therapy and improved outcomes. Here, we review the self-limited epilepsy syndromes and developmental and epileptic encephalopathies that begin in the neonatal-infantile period with an emphasis on genetic etiology and the shifting landscape of treatment options based on genetic findings.
