Seizure Prediction Analysis of Infantile Spasms [PDF]
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 ...

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Infantile Spasms [PDF]
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 team science approach to discover novel targets for infantile spasms (IS) [PDF]
Infantile spasms (IS) is a devastating epilepsy syndrome that typically begins in the first year of life. Symptoms consist of stereotypical spasms, developmental delay, and electroencephalogram (EEG) that may demonstrate Hypsarhythmia.

Confirmation of infantile spasms resolution by prolonged outpatient EEGs [PDF]
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)

Pathophysiology of Infantile Spasms [PDF]
An age-specific endogenous-convulsant hypothesis implicating corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an excitant neuropeptide suppressed by ACTH/steroids, is proposed for the pathophysiology of massive infantile spasms in a report from the University of ...
