There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Impact of vigabatrin on risk of relapse of infantile spasms
Abstract Objective Vigabatrin is an effective treatment for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), but relapse remains a clinical challenge. The ideal dose and duration of treatment after response are unknown. We set out to identify treatment‐related predictors of IESS relapse after initial vigabatrin response. Methods We conducted a retrospective
