Epilepsia, 2020
Vigabatrin (VGB), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and prednisone are first‐line treatments for infantile spasms (IS). A recent study reported benefits from the use of combination VGB and hormonal therapy over hormonal treatment alone in IS.

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

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 ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995
The recent intense focus of attention on further characterization and management of infantile spasms is due, in part, to the resistant nature of these seizures and the frequently poor cognitive outcome, even when the seizures are controlled. Technological advances have increased our ability to diagnose specific brain disorders associated with infantile

Symptomatology of infantile spasms
Brain and Development, 2001Epileptic spasms in West syndrome consist of a brief phasic contraction followed by a gradually relaxing tonic component, associated with typical ictal electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. Three different EEG patterns are associated with a clinical spasm: fast wave bursts, high voltage slow waves (HVS), and desynchronization, occurring in this order.

The selective effectiveness of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in treating infantile spasms suggests an underlying neuroinflammation. Because neuroinflammation is mediated by activated microglia, which express translocator protein (TSPO), we imaged ...

Infantile spasms (West's Syndrome) is a syndrome which includes a peculiar type of epileptic seizure, usually hypsarrhythmia and in the majority of people, psychomotor retardation. It remains poorly understood and despite modern imaging techniques an underlying cause is often not found. Little is known about their pathophysiological basis and treatment

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 ...

Treatment of infantile spasms: why do we know so little?
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2020Introduction Infantile spasm (IS) is an epileptic syndrome with typical onset within the first 2 years of life. This condition might be caused by several etiologies.
