Epileptic spasms relapse is associated with response latency but not conventional attributes of post‐treatment EEG

Epilepsia Open
Objective Relapse of epileptic spasms after initial treatment of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is common. However, past studies of small cohorts have inconsistently linked relapse risk to etiology, treatment modality, and EEG features upon ...

Why West? Comparisons of clinical, genetic and molecular features of infants with and without spasms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Infantile spasms are the defining seizures of West syndrome, a severe form of early life epilepsy with poorly-understood pathophysiology. We present a novel comparative analysis of infants with spasms versus other seizure-types and identify clinical ...

X-Linked Infantile Spasms

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1997
Two unrelated families with X-linked infantile spasm syndrome were studied genetically by two-point and multipoint linkage analyses at the University Hospital Gasthuisberg, and Center for Human Genetics, University of Leuven, and University of Antwerp ...

Facilitating the timely diagnosis of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: A checklist to support clinical practice

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To develop and evaluate a simple‐to‐use checklist to support physicians with the timely diagnosis of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS). Methods A panel of 10 pediatric and adult epileptologists used the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) criteria for LGS classification and definition to develop seven questions for the checklist,

Refining the electroclinical phenotype of 15q11.2 microdeletion: EEG biomarker overlap with Angelman syndrome

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...

Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...

Non-invasive, multimodal analysis of cortical activity, blood volume and neurovascular coupling in infantile spasms using EEG-fNIRS monitoring

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017
Although infantile spasms can be caused by a variety of etiologies, the clinical features are stereotypical. The neuronal and vascular mechanisms that contribute to the emergence of infantile spasms are not well understood.

Electroclinical phenotypes—genetic characterization of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in a cohort study

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by refractory seizures and frequently recurring epileptic activity with neurodevelopmental delay or regression that usually begin in early life. We aimed to define the relationship between electroclinical features and etiology, as well as the genotype–phenotype ...

Postoperative outcomes and predictors of functional sequelae following hemispheric surgery in Rasmussen's encephalitis: A retrospective cohort study from the global pediatric epilepsy surgery registry

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare and progressive, immune‐mediated epileptic encephalopathy characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and neurological decline. While hemispheric disconnection (HD) is the gold standard treatment for effective seizure control, this procedure carries significant risk of permanent neurological ...

Study of the Effects of Mogadon in Treatment of Infantile Spasms

پزشکی بالینی ابن سینا, 2001
Among epileptic syndromes the infantile spasms ( west syndrome ) is the    most  malignant one and leads to  irreparable brain damage, which is    related directly to duration of spasms.
