Infantile spasms is a catastrophic form of epilepsy found only in infants and young toddlers, with the peak incidence between 4 - 7 months of age. Estimated prevalence is 1 in 2000 - 6000 live births. There are many causes of infantile spasms, including tuberous sclerosis, hypoxic-ischaemic injury, congenital infectious diseases, inborn errors of ...

Neurologic Clinics, 1990
Infantile spasms are a seizure disorder in young infants with diverse etiologies, suggesting that they arise from any disturbance of central nervous system function during susceptible periods of development. The prognosis for normal intellectual and neurologic development parallels that of the underlying etiology.

The management of infantile spasms
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2008Infantile spasms (IS) is the most frequent epilepsy syndrome in infancy. Although the consensus triad of spasms in clusters with hypsarrhythmia adversely affecting psychomotor development1 seems quite straightforward, the great variability of each component is a challenge not only to the clinician involved in management of the condition but also to the

Pediatrics, 1958
A follow-up study has been conducted on 27 patients who had infantile spasms and normal electroencephalograms before the age of 1 year, and who did not have hypsarhythmia, the electroencephalographic abnormality which is usual in this condition. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the absence of electroencephalographic abnormality alters ...

Vigabatrin for infantile spasms
Pediatric Neurology, 2002We reviewed 20 infants receiving vigabatrin for infantile spasms. Patients were not enrolled in a formal study. All families obtained the medication abroad. Age at initiation of vigabatrin ranged from 1 to 48 months; nine infants had received prior treatment with various antiepileptic medications. Patients were begun on the lowest practical dose of 125-

The Neurologist, 2010
Infantile spasms (West syndrome) is an epilepsy condition affecting 1 in 2000 infants. Perhaps no more worrisome neurologic disorder exists because of its frequent association with delayed development and cognition at such a young age. Despite its existence in the literature since 1841, proven therapies are limited because of efficacy, tolerability, at

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2006
Infantile spasms are associated with a diverse range of conditions, and treatment options are available. However, outcomes remain generally poor, particularly for those with symptomatic etiologies. First-line therapy is considered to be hormonal (adrenocorticotropic hormone; ACTH), which some evidence suggests is more effective when started early ...

Infantile spasms (West's Syndrome) is a syndrome which includes a peculiar type of epileptic seizure, the spasms, and an electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormality often called hypsarrhythmia. Psychomotor retardation is frequently found at follow up. Approximately two thirds of affected infants will have a detectable underlying neurological abnormality ...
