Question
How to handle the recurrence of infantile spasms?
Answer
The recurrence of infantile spasms is typically characterized by sudden, whole-body muscle spasms, with the head and upper body bending forward. The episodes are short but frequent, often occurring when falling asleep or just waking up, accompanied by symptoms such as loss of consciousness. Treatment primarily involves hormone therapy, and some children may develop other types of epilepsy, with possible impacts on intelligence and motor development.
