Can a seizure in a newborn baby cause bone fracture in any parts of the body?

Mostly No: Technically yes, but on a practical basis, really almost never happens.

I've never seen it: Most seizure activity in newborns is not as violent or intense as that of adults since the nervous system is not wired up & complete.Infant seizures are more likely to appear as brief tremors or lip smacking.The most common fracture in newborns is the clavicle, which is related to the trauma of delivery.Other fx's would be cause to look for brittle bone disease or trauma.
