Epileptic Spasms in a Large Hypothalamic Hamartoma Cohort

Journal of Child Neurology, 2020
Introduction: Hypothalamic hamartoma is rarely associated with epileptic spasms. We describe epileptic spasms in a large cohort of hypothalamic hamartoma patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review between March 2011 and March 2020 to identify patients with hypothalamic hamartoma and epilepsy.

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

Epileptic Spasms: A Variety of Etiologies and Associated Syndromes

Journal of Child Neurology, 2008
Epileptic spasms have been described as a paroxysmal epileptic seizure type that consists of a series of motor movements, involving sudden flexion or extension predominantly of axial and/or proximal limb muscles, occurring with a noticeable periodicity, outside the age of infantile spasms, but have otherwise not been well characterized or described ...

Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome: When spasms come out of the blue

Epilepsy & Behavior
This study evaluates the electroclinical features of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) suddenly appearing in previously normal patients, aiming to describe clinical outcomes and independent predictors.We retrospectively selected a homogeneous group of patients with IESS from two Italian centers.

[Benign epileptic infantile spasms].

Revue d'electroencephalographie et de neurophysiologie clinique, 1987
Among 100 infants with infantile spasms studied before treatment, 14 had idiopathic spasms with a favourable outcome. They had a normal development, including reaching for objects before the age of 5 months and moderate regression without loss of eye following.

Epileptic spasms in clusters without hypsarrhythmia

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy, 2015
Here we present an update of the electroclinical features and evolution of patients with epileptic spasms (ES) in clusters without hypsarrhythmia, with or without focal or generalized paroxysmal discharges on the interictal electroencephalography (EEG).

Epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia in infancy and childhood: tonic spasms as a seizure type

Epileptic Disorders, 2015
AbstractEpileptic spasms were defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Task Force on Classification and Terminology in 2001 as a specific seizure type. Epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia have been described in some series of patients, occurring either in infancy or childhood.

Electroclinical Landscape of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome

Indian Journal of Pediatrics
To elucidate the electroclinical characteristics of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and to determine any potential association among these with underlying etiologies and response to therapy.Sixty-eight, treatment-naive children with IESS underwent long-term video electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, which was used to characterize the ...

[Epileptic spasms in infants. Beyond hypsarrhythmia].

Revista de neurologia, 2018
Epileptic spasms are the most frequent type of epileptic seizures in infants. They can also occur beyond the period of infancy, within the context of other epileptic encephalopathies or as an expression of a focal or generalised epilepsy. The clinical semiology of epileptic spasms varies greatly.

[Liposteroid therapy for refractory epileptic spasms].

No to hattatsu = Brain and development, 2004
Liposteroid was administered intravenously to 6 patients with refractory epileptic spasms. In one case, the spasms initially disappeared but then reappeared after three months. Another case had a transient and slight decrease of epileptic spasms. In the only patient in whom spasms disappeared, EEG abnormalities were greatly improved with diffuse spikes
