Hypsarrhythmia and infantile autism: A clinical report

Journal of Autism and Childhood Schizophrenia, 1971
The case histories of five children, four boys and one girl (1 to 9 years of age), who developed autistic behavior after the onset of infantile spasms, are presented in detail. The patients' initial EEGs disclosed hypsarrhythmia. First onsets of seizures occurred during the second 6 months of life in four and on the third day of life in the youngest ...

The Treatment of Infantile Spasms and Hypsarrhythmia with Mogadon

Epilepsia, 1967
SUMMARYReport about experiences with Mogadon in the treatment of 24 children with infantile spasms and hypsarrhythmia. Control of spasms was obtained, together with improvement or normalisation of the EEG, in 13 out of the 24 cases described. Among the side‐effects of Mogadon, hypersecretion in the respiratory tract is the most troublesome.

Successful zonisamide treatment for infants with hypsarrhythmia

Pediatric Neurology, 2000
We determined that zonisamide was effective in three epileptic infants with hypsarrhythmia. Two patients had the electroencephalographic pattern of hypsarrhythmia associated with developmental delay but lacked the characteristic tonic spasms. A third patient exhibited the typical triad of infantile spasms but had a poor general condition requiring ...

Asymmetric Hypsarrhythmia and Infantile Spasms in West Syndrome

Journal of Child Neurology, 1994
The video encephalograms (EEGS) of 77 consecutive infantile spasms patients were evaluated for the presence of focal or asymmetric hypsarrhythmia and infantile spasms, to determine whether these findings were useful in predicting the presence of focal structural brain disease and were of any additional diagnostic or prognostic significance.

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

Magnetoencephalographic analysis of hypsarrhythmia in West Syndrome

Journal of Epilepsy, 1997
Abstract Magnetoencephalography (MEG) was performed in 7 patients with West syndrome (WS). In patients who had localized lesions such as tuberous sclerosis and porencephaly in the cerebral cortex, MEG showed clusters of sources of epileptiform discharges (EDs) of hypsarrhythmia at these lesions.

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).

Quantification of diffuse and focal delta activity in hypsarrhythmia

Brain and Development, 1990
In order to determine whether or not there is any correlation between the various aspects of hypsarrhythmia and the etiology, we studied one of the major components of this pattern, delta activity, in patients with infantile spasms. In 3 different etiologic groups of patients (prenatal, perinatal and cryptogenic) we divided this activity into 2 types ...

Angelman syndrome and pseudo‐hypsarrhythmia: a diagnostic pitfall

Epileptic Disorders, 2011
ABSTRACTAngelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder scarcely diagnosed before the age of two years. We report the case of an eight‐month‐old female presenting with severe hypotonia, myoclonus, suspected spasms and an electroencephalogram with hypsarrhythmic‐like features.

The origin of hypsarrhythmia and tonic spasms in West syndrome: evidence from a case of porencephaly and hydrocephalus with focal hypsarrhythmia

Brain and Development, 1999
We report on a 3-year-old girl with West syndrome and with focal hypsarrhythmia. The left hemisphere of the patient was virtually completely defective and continuous hypsarrhythmia was only seen in the residual right frontal cortex, where an interictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed hyperperfusion.
