A pulse rapamycin therapy for infantile spasms and associated cognitive decline
Neurobiology of Disease, 2011 Infantile spasms are seizures manifesting within a spectrum of epileptic encephalopathies of infancy that often lead to cognitive impairment. Their current therapies, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), high dose steroids, or vigabatrin, are ...

Confirmation of infantile spasms resolution by prolonged outpatient EEGs [PDF]
Epilepsia Open, 2021 Objective There is no consensus on the type or duration of the posttreatment EEG needed for assessing treatment response for infantile spasms (IS). We assessed whether outpatient electroencephalograms (EEGs) are sufficient to confirm infantile spasms (IS)

Infantile spasms and pigmentary mosaicism [PDF]
Epilepsia, 2009 SummaryWe present a 3‐year‐old boy with pigmentary mosaicism and persistent intractable infantile spasms due to mosaicism of chromosome 7. Getting the diagnosis of pigmentary mosaicism in a child with infantile spasms may not be easy, as most diagnostic work‐up is done in infancy, at a time when skin manifestations can be subtle. We stress the need for
