Infantile spasms

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2001

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 ...

Infantile Spasms

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

Technological advances have increased our ability to diagnose specific brain disorders associated with infantile
