Background In seizures caused by electrolytes disorders, a prompt diagnosis allows an appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of neurological complications. Hypomagnesemia is a recognized cause of generalized seizures, while it has been anecdotally reported in focal forms. Case presentation We describe a newborn with recurrent focal seizures due to transient hypomagnesemia. Conclusion Physicians should consider the possible occurrence of such disorder also in cases of focal seizures.

Abstract
Background In seizures caused by electrolytes disorders, a prompt diagnosis allows an appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of neurological complications. Hypomagnesemia is a recognized cause of generalized seizures, while it has been anecdotally reported in focal forms. Case presentation We describe a newborn with recurrent focal seizures due to transient hypomagnesemia. Conclusion Physicians should consider the possible occurrence of such disorder also in cases of focal seizures.
