Svensk definition
Ett tillstånd med återkommande krampanfall under de 4-6 första veckorna i livet, trots en iövrigt normal spädbarnsutveckling. Ärftliga, autosomalt dominanta former och sporadiska former har identifierats. Anfallen består vanligtvis av korta episoder av spänd kroppshållning och andra rörelser, andningsstillestånd, avvikande ögonrörelser och blodtrycksvariationer. Störningarna tenderar att upphöra efter 6 veckors ålder. I den ärftliga formen föreligger en måttligt förhöjd risk att utveckla epilepsi vid högre ålder. Syn. spädbarnsepilepsi; infantil spasm.
Engelsk definition
A condition marked by recurrent seizures that occur during the first 4-6 weeks of life despite an otherwise benign neonatal course. Autosomal dominant familial and sporadic forms have been identified. Seizures generally consist of brief episodes of tonic posturing and other movements, apnea, eye deviations, and blood pressure fluctuations. These tend to remit after the 6th week of life. The risk of developing epilepsy at an older age is moderately increased in the familial form of this disorder. (Neurologia 1996 Feb;11(2):51-5)
