Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Infantile Spasms [PDF]
Neurology International, 2022 Background: Infantile spasms are an age-specific epileptic disorder. They occur in infancy and early childhood. They can be caused by multiple etiologies. Structural abnormalities represent an important cause of infantile spasms. Brain magnetic resonance

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 ...

Impact of vigabatrin on risk of relapse of infantile spasms. [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenAbstract Objective Vigabatrin is an effective treatment for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), but relapse remains a clinical challenge. The ideal dose and duration of treatment after response are unknown. We set out to identify treatment‐related predictors of IESS relapse after initial vigabatrin response. Methods We conducted a retrospective

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)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Seizure Prediction Analysis of Infantile Spasms
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Infantile spasms (IS) is a typical childhood epileptic disorder with generalized seizures. The sudden, frequent and complex characteristics of infantile spasms are the main causes of sudden death, severe comorbidities and other adverse consequences ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1989 Infantile spasms are a unique disorder of infancy and early childhood. The average age at onset of infantile spasms is 6 months and the average incidence of the disorder is approximately 0.31 per 1000 live births. Approximately one-quarter of patients will spontaneously stop having spasms within 1 year of onset.
