Infantile Spasms

Diagnosis, Management and Prognosis

By: James D. Frost Jr.,Richard A. Hrachovy

The etiology of infantile spasms/West syndrome remains unknown; the pathophysiology is poorly understood and the optimal course of treatment is controversial. The primary goal of this volume is to carefully assess all aspects of the disorder, provide the reader with a concise guide to the most effective and efficient means for establishing the diagnosis, formulating an appropriate treatment plan and assessing the outlook for long-term outcome. Infantile Spasms: Diagnosis, Management and Prognosis also aims to provide a compact and structured knowledge-base which can be used to facilitate the development of future research protocols designed to uncover the basic mechanisms underlying this disorder and lead to more effective treatment modalities.

Pediatric Neurology Part I

Chapter 63. Infantile spasms

By: Richard A. Hrachovy,James D. Frost

Infantile spasms are a unique disorder of infancy and early childhood. The average age at onset of infantile spasms is 6 months and the average incidence of the disorder is approximately 0.31 per 1000 live births. Approximately one-quarter of patients will spontaneously stop having spasms within 1 year of onset. There are three main types of epileptic spasms: flexor, extensor, and mixed flexor–extensor. Spasms frequently occur in clusters and commonly occur upon arousal from sleep. The motor spasms are frequently confused with other normal and abnormal infant behaviors. Typically, the interictal EEG reveals hypsarrhythmia or one of its variants. A variety of ictal EEG patterns may be seen, the most common of which is a generalized slow-wave transient followed by an attenuation of the background activity in all regions. The primary treatment objective is to improve the EEG and stop the spasms as soon as possible and to avoid prolonged treatment durations with any form of therapy. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence that medical or surgical treatment of infantile spasms significantly alters long-term outcome. Although the pathophysiological mechanism underlying infantile spasms is unknown, several animal models of infantile spasms have been developed in recent years

Civil War Stories from the Buffalo Trace

By: James R. Columbia

The Buffalo Trace area - Mason, Bracken, Fleming, Robertson & Lewis counties in northeastern Kentucky, and Adams, Brown & Clermont counties in southwestern Ohio - occupies a unique place in Civil War history. On the borders of North & South, East and West, Slave & Free, Union & Confederate - emotions ran high in a conflict that became known as "The Brothers War," as families and communities chose sides. As we observe the 150th anniversary of the end of this armed conflict, it makes sense to reflect on how our ancestors thought and acted during this crucial time in our national history. Their involvement might surprise you. Over 650 contemporary articles from local and national newspapers illustrate this local history, and serve to remind us of our ancestors opinions, choices and sacrifices. 356 pages.
