A severe epilepsy syndrome with triad of infantile spasms, an interictal electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern termed hypsarrhythmia, and mental retardation.
We retrospectively studied 18 patients with Westsyndrome treated with ACTH according to Fukuyama's method.
2
We experienced one symptomatic case and three cryptogenic cases of Westsyndrome that showed spontaneous remission.
3
Of these, 3 had Westsyndrome.
4
Generally, Westsyndrome is an intractable epileptic syndrome in infancy, although spontaneous remission has been reported in some cases.
5
Here, we report a patient with Westsyndrome whose chromosome analysis revealed 14q11.2-21.1 duplication.

X-linked InfantileSpasmsSyndrome (ISSX) is a catastrophic epilepsy of early childhood with intractable seizures, intellectual disability, and poor prognosis.
1
Reports on the use of topiramate for treatment of infantilespasms are limited.
2
Seizure types were variable, including infantilespasms and myoclonic seizures, and often prolonged.
3
Twelve patients had symptomatic infantilespasms, and two patients had cryptogenic infantilespasms.
4
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of vigabatrin for Japanese patients with infantilespasms.
5
We encountered two WBS patients presenting with infantilespasms, which is extremely rare in WBS.

Results: We used iobio to identify the disease-causing variant in a patient with early infantileepilepticencephalopathy with prior nondiagnostic genetic testing.

1
On screen, Margrit finished her beer and drank Cole's in epilepticspasms.
2
Main seizure types were epilepticspasms in 17 patients and tonic spasms in eight.
3
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that serial EEG findings after ACTH therapy are significantly related to relapse of epilepticspasms.
4
Background: Corpus callosotomy (CC) has recently been adopted for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepticspasms and tonic spasms.
5
The patient was admitted due to infantile epilepticspasms at eight months of age, motor developmental delay, and dysmorphic features.
6
The main seizure types were epilepticspasms in four, tonic spasms in one, and both seizure types in two patients.
7
The identification of neocortical up states as a mechanism capable of initiating epilepticspasms will likely provide new targets for interventional therapies.
8
In the present study, we investigated CC outcomes among patients with drug-resistant epilepticspasms or tonic spasms associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
9
Objective: Epilepticspasms are a hallmark of severe seizure disorders.
