early infantile epileptic encephalopathy(English)

• a devastating and highly refractory epilepsy syndrome seen with multiple seizure types with onset before 3 months of age. Initial EEG shows a typical burst–suppression pattern. Many infants die within the first 2 years of life, with an average life expectancy of 3 years. In addition to drug-resistant epilepsy, survivors are left with severe neurological deficits and motor impairments as they clinically evolve into WS and LGS; aka Ohtahara Syndrome
