Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1993 The developmental, neurologic, and seizure outcome and prognostic factors of 57 cases of infantile spasms were evaluated in relation to etiology (cryptogenic 17 cases, symptomatic 40 cases) at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada.

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Variants in KCNQ2 encoding the voltage‐gated potassium channel KV7.2 are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) of varying severity. This study examined the relationship of KCNQ2 variant dysfunction with the neurodevelopmental phenotype of individuals with KCNQ2‐DEE. Methods A parent‐reported survey gathered

How do the many etiologies of West syndrome lead to excitability and seizures? The corticotropin releasing hormone excess hypothesis. [PDF]
, 2001 West syndrome (WS) is associated with diverse etiological factors. This fact has suggested that there must be a 'final common pathway' for these etiologies, which operates on the immature brain to result in WS only at the maturational state present ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy of infantile onset. While epidemiological data from Western countries and global estimates are available, consolidated evidence on the burden of IESS in India remains limited.

Clock gene dysregulation in epilepsy: A systematic review
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Epileptic seizures show a rhythmic pattern, being more frequent at particular times of the day (e.g., only occurring during sleep), suggesting a role of the circadian rhythm. Clock genes regulate the circadian rhythm and might be involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

ACTH treatment of infantile spasms: mechanisms of its effects in modulation of neuronal excitability. [PDF]
, 2002 The efficacy of ACTH, particularly in high doses, for rapid and complete elimination of infantile spasms (IS) has been demonstrated in prospective controlled studies. However, the mechanisms for this efficacy remain unknown.

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and self‐limited infantile epilepsy (SeLIE) are both genetically heterogeneous disorders during infancy with distinct prognoses. To better define the genetic spectrum of IESS, we performed a comparative genetic analysis using SeLIE cases as a reference group. Methods We performed whole‐exome
