Historical Patterns of Diagnosis, Treatments, and Outcome of Epilepsy Associated With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: Results From TOSCA Registry

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Epilepsy is the most common neurological manifestation in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). However, real-world evidence on diagnosis and treatment patterns is limited.

Efficacy and tolerability of the Galanin Analog NAX 5055 in the multiple-hit rat model of symptomatic infantile spasms [PDF]

, 2013
Infantile spasms are seizures manifesting in infantile epileptic encephalopathies that are associated with poor epilepsy and cognitive outcomes. The current therapies are not always effective or are associated with serious side effects.

Investigations in West Syndrome: Which, When and Why

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2015
Investigators from the National Infantile Spasms Consortium (NISC) in the USA studied the etiology of new-onset infantile spasms (IS) in 251 infants (mean age at onset, 7.1, range, 0.1-22.7 months).

Genetic Classification of Infantile Spasms

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2012
Researchers from University of Washington, Seattle, WA, and Washington University, St Louis, MO propose a genetic and biologic classification of infantile spasms. Infantile spasms are of 2 main groups: those with known or unknown predisposing genotypes.

Safety and Efficacy of Vigabatrin for the Treatment of Infantile Spasms

Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2011
In 2009, vigabatrin became the first FDA approved medication for the treatment of infantile spasms in the United States. There are few well-designed prospective studies comparing the drug to placebo or other modalities used in the treatment of infantile ...

Vigabatrin therapy implicates neocortical high frequency oscillations in an animal model of infantile spasms

Neurobiology of Disease, 2015
Abnormal high frequency oscillations (HFOs) in EEG recordings are thought to be reflections of mechanisms responsible for focal seizure generation in the temporal lobe and neocortex. HFOs have also been recorded in patients and animal models of infantile

The early electroclinical manifestations of infantile spasms: A video EEG study

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2016
Purpose: Infantile spasms are described as flexor extensor and mixed; but more features of their semiology and ictal electroencephalography (EEG) changes are sparse in the literature.
