Infantile Hemifacial Spasm

Archives of Neurology, 1976
A 6-week-old infant had recurrent contractions of the facial musculature on the left side, which continued throughout early childhood. Surgical exploration at 5 1/2 years of age revealed a ganglioneuroma of the fourth ventricle. Hemifacial spasm (HFS) in infancy and childhood suggests the possibility of serious intracranial pathologic findings.

Unusual Variants of Infantile Spasms

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1988
During evaluation of video-electroencephalograms (EEGs) performed in our laboratory, we identified 11 patients who had unusual repetitive movements that appeared to be variants of infantile spasms. Movements included yawning, facial grimacing, eye movements, and transient focal motor activity.

Pathophysiology of Infantile Spasms

2002
Infantile spasms--seen in West's Syndrome--are often associated with cortical abnormalities. The spasms themselves, however, appear to be generated subcortically. Dr. Chugani reviews the clinical data related to the pathophysiology of infantile spasms and proposes a hypothesis which involves both cortical and subcortical mechanisms.

Infantile Spasms

Archives of Neurology, 2002
West syndrome is an epileptic syndrome with a devastating clinical course. In recent years, anatomic and functional neuroimaging studies have helped to diagnose the cause of the spasms in most children, but with little progress in improving the poor developmental outcome associated with this syndrome. This article cites 4 seminal observations regarding
