Factors Influencing the Response of Infantile Epileptic Spasm Syndrome Patients to ACTH as Repeated First-Line Therapy

2024-10-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Objective The treatment of infantile epileptic spasm syndrome (IESS) aims to achieve spasm control. Current first-line interventions include hormonal therapy (adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] and corticosteroids) and vigabatrin. Despite treatment, the response rate remains at around 40%, with some patients experiencing relapse after initial control. In certain cases, a second course...
