Spasms are defined as epileptic seizures characterized by brief axial contraction, in flexion, extension or mixed, symmetric or asymmetric, lasting from a fraction of a second to 1-2s, and are associated with a slow-wave transient or sharp and slow-wave complex, followed or not by voltage attenuation. Epileptic spasms usually appear in clusters and are age-dependent. This type of epileptic spas...
Vitamin B12 deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants is an important problem in developing countries. Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Few cases of vitamin B12 deficiency have been reported as the cause of infantile spasms. We report the case of a 6-month-old boy diagnosed with infantile spasms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency caused...
The diagnosis, evaluation, and management of infantile spasms (IS) continue to pose significant challenges to the treating physician. Although an evidence-based practice guideline with full literature review was published in 2004, diversity in IS evaluation and treatment remains and highlights the need for further consensus to optimize outcomes in IS. For this purpose, a working group committed...
A syndrome of brief repetitive massive spasms involving the muscles of the neck, trunk, and limbs, accompanied by either regression or loss of motor and mental skills, was described by Dr. W. J. West, a practitioner in Tonbridge, in his own son (1841). Dr. West had taken the child to London for a consultation with Sir Charles Clarke who had already seen four cases of what he called the 'salaam ...
Infantile spasms (IS) is an early-onset epileptic encephalopathy of unknown etiology in ∼40% of patients. We hypothesized that unexplained IS cases represent a large collection of rare single-gene disorders. We investigated 44 children with unexplained IS using comparative genomic hybridisation arrays (aCGH) (n = 44) followed by targeted sequencing of 35 known epilepsy genes (n = 8) or whole-ex...
The infantile spasms syndrome appeared on the same day in a pair of monozygotic twins at age 6 months. Clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuroradiological findings during the development of the disease are reported. One of the twins was treated with ACTH and in his case clinical and electroencephalographic improvement was more rapid than in the other who was treated with clonazepam. While ...
The claim of Sorel to have improved the outlook for children with the syndrome of infantile spasms ('lightning spasms') and mental retardation by the use of corticotrophin (Sorel and Dusaucy-Bauloye, 1958; Sorel, 1959) has aroused widespread interest, and first reports have been enthusiastic (Low, 1958, 1959; Stamps, Gibbs, Rosenthal and Gibbs, 1959). Cortisone has also been said to be effectiv...
