Epileptic spasms in individuals with Down syndrome: A review of the current literature
Epilepsy can occur in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), with epileptic spasms representing the most frequent seizure type in this population. Epileptic spasms can have devastating consequences on the development of individuals with the condition. This

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]
The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...

Infantile Spasms in Remission May Reemerge as Intractable Epileptic Spasms [PDF]
Summary: Background:West syndrome consists of infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia and is perceived as a disorder of infants.Methods:We describe 10 patients with West syndrome with spasms that remitted, started again, and persisted (followed up for 8–25 years).Results:In all, West syndrome developed at younger than 17 months (five cryptogenic, six ...
