Prediction of treatment response in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome using EEG phase-amplitude coupling. [PDF]

Epilepsia Open
Abstract Objective Treatment selection for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is complex and multifaceted, and currently no electroencephalogram (EEG) biomarkers can guide this decision by predicting treatment response. We tested the predictive value of phase–amplitude coupling (PAC) as IESS patients are known to have elevated PAC.

UK Infantile Spasms Study: Effect of Time to Treatment and Age at Onset on Developmental Outcome

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2011
The effects of lead time to treatment (time from onset of spasms to start of treatment), age at onset of spasms, etiology, and treatment on developmental outcome at 4 years were investigated using multiple linear regression in 77 infants with spasms ...

The 9th International RASopathies Symposium

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The RASopathies are a group of congenital disorders with overlapping clinical manifestations that are caused by pathogenic germline or early somatic variants that result in the hyperactivation of the RAS/mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

Infantile spasms and pigmentary mosaicism

, 2009
Udgivelsesdato: JulSummary We present a 3-year-old boy with pigmentary mosaicism and persistent intractable infantile spasms due to mosaicism of chromosome 7. Getting the diagnosis of pigmentary mosaicism in a child with infantile spasms may not be easy,

Epilepsy characteristics in patients with muscle‐eye‐brain disease: A systematic review of electroclinical features

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Muscle‐Eye‐Brain disease (MEB) is a dystroglycanopathy that belongs to the congenital muscular dystrophies. Central nervous system manifestations include congenital brain abnormalities, neurodevelopmental delay, and epilepsy, making it a rare but important cause of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.

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 ...

Delayed brain and spine migration of a retained SEEG electrode fragment: An unexpected complication

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a well‐established technique for localizing epileptogenic zones in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, including children. While considered safe, rare but serious complications can occur.

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 ...
