Three different scenarios for epileptic spasms

Epilepsy and Behavior, 2020
Epileptic Spasms (ES) is a type of seizure usually occurring in the context of a severe childhood epileptic syndrome associated to significant Electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities. There are three scenarios in which ES may occur. The first one is represented by West Syndrome (WS): ES occur in a previously non encephalopathic infant in association ...

Rufinamide for the treatment of epileptic spasms

Epilepsy and Behavior, 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of rufinamide for treatment of epileptic spasms.We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with rufinamide for epileptic spasms from January 2009 to March 2010. Age, presence of hypsarrhythmia, change in seizure frequency following rufinamide initiation, and side effects were assessed.

Felbamate in the treatment of refractory epileptic spasms

Epilepsy Research, 2020
Several small case series provide conflicting impressions of the efficacy of felbamate for treatment of epileptic spasms. Using a large single-center cohort of children with epileptic spasms, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of felbamate.

Epileptic spasms in clusters without hypsarrhythmia in infancy

Epileptic Disorders, 2003
Spasms are defined as epileptic seizures characterized by brief axial contraction, in flexion, extension or mixed, symmetric or asymmetric, lasting from a fraction of a second to 1‐2s, and are associated with a slow‐wave transient or sharp and slow‐wave complex, followed or not by voltage attenuation. Epileptic spasms usually appear in clusters and are

Cortical involvement in focal epilepsies with epileptic spasms

Epilepsy Research, 2014
The pathophysiological mechanisms of epileptic spasms are still poorly understood. The role of subcortical structures has been suggested on the basis of non-localized EEG features and from experimental data. The description of asymmetric spasms associated with lateralized EEG patterns has challenged this view and raises the possibility of a cortical ...

Epileptic spasms in tuberous sclerosis complex

Epilepsy Research, 2013
To characterize epileptic spasms (ES) occurring after the age of two years in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), particularly treatment response to vigabatrin (VGB), which is extremely effective for infantile spasms (IS) in TSC.The authors retrospectively reviewed 19 patients with TSC and ES.

Clinical spectrum of epileptic spasms in children

Brain and Development, 2015
To compare etiologic, semiologic, and electrographic features of epileptic spasms (ES) in children with West syndrome (WS) vs. in children with other epilepsy syndromes and nonsyndromic epilepsies.The 24h-video/EEG recordings of consecutive children with ES were reviewed for etiology, ictal semiology, and interictal and ictal EEG features.

Cingulate Lesions Presenting With Epileptic Spasms

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2009
To describe the novel finding of epileptic spasms arising from a cingulate lesion.We describe two children presenting with epileptic spasms who had lesions of the cingulate gyrus on MRI.In both patients, the lesions involved the midcingulate cortex. Seizures were characterized by prominent motor manifestations and resembled spasms.
