Evolution of Surgical Management for Intractable Epileptic Spasms

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2020
The understanding and management of epileptic spasms has considerably evolved since the mid 19th century. The realization that epileptic spasms can be generated from a focal brain lesion played a pivotal role in the development of neurosurgical management for intractable forms of this epilepsy.

[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 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.

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 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).

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.

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 ...

Stimulus-induced reflex epileptic spasms in 5p− syndrome

Brain and Development, 2016
Here we describe two patients with 5p- syndrome who suffered from epilepsy characterised by stimulus-induced epileptic spasms manifesting as head nodding. In patient 1, a series of spasms were exclusively triggered by eating, and were associated with diffuse high-voltage slow waves on ictal EEG, particularly presenting as a positive slow potential at ...

Epileptic Spasms in Older Children: Persistence Beyond Infancy

Epilepsia, 1995
Summary Although infantile spasms (IS) constitute a well‐recognized epileptic syndrome, only recently did investigators propose that spasms be classified as a distinct seizure type, characterized by axial flexionlextension jerks in clusters. Five older children (aged 4.5–14.2 years) who underwent video‐EEG monitoring in 1992 in our epilepsy program ...

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.
