Abstract

Abstract In the latest report of the International League against Epilepsy Task Force on Nosology and Definitions on the methodology for classification of epilepsy syndromes, the term infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) was chosen for what were previously called infantile spasms, including West syndrome and infantile epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia. Different Argentine groups have contributed to the description of IESS and related epileptic and nonepileptic syndromes. Here we aimed to review studies by different Argentine authors that contributed to the development of the definitions of IESS and its most important benign differential diagnosis. In 1949, Vazquez and Turner from Argentina first recognized a clinical-electroencephalographic correlate of the entity described by Dr. West defining the triad of epileptic spasms, diffuse paroxysmal cerebral dysrhythmia, and psychomotor impairment. Subsequently, in 1976 Fejerman first reported 10 neurologically normal infants with recurrent spells that resembled epileptic spasms. As neurological status, electroencephalogram (EEG), and outcomes were normal, these infants were clearly different from those with West syndrome or epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia. Since 2003, Caraballo et al have published different series of patients with epileptic spasms in clusters without hypsarrhythmia occurring in infancy. Before the onset of the epileptic spasms in clusters, these infants were often normal and they had focal or generalized EEG abnormalities. Publication in local journals in languages other than English may lead to the loss of important data found by colleagues from different geographic areas. Therefore, this should be followed by publication in English in peer-reviewed journals.
阿根廷神经病学家对婴儿癫痫痉挛综合征和相关癫痫性和非癫痫性神经系统疾病描述的贡献
在国际抗癫痫联盟疾病分类和定义工作组关于癫痫综合征分类方法的最新报告中,婴儿癫痫性痉挛综合征(IESS)一词被选择用于以前称为婴儿痉挛的疾病,包括韦斯特综合征和无低心律失常的婴儿癫痫性痉挛。阿根廷不同的小组对IESS和相关的癫痫和非癫痫综合征的描述作出了贡献。在这里,我们旨在回顾不同阿根廷作者的研究,这些研究对IESS的定义及其最重要的良性鉴别诊断的发展做出了贡献。1949年,阿根廷的巴斯克斯和特纳首次发现了韦斯特博士所描述的癫痫痉挛、弥漫性阵发性脑节律障碍和精神运动障碍三位一体的临床-脑电图相关性。随后,在1976年,Fejerman首次报道了10例神经系统正常的婴儿反复出现类似癫痫痉挛的症状。由于神经系统状态,脑电图(EEG)和结果正常,这些婴儿明显不同于那些有西氏综合征或癫痫性痉挛而无低心律失常的婴儿。自2003年以来,Caraballo等人发表了不同系列的癫痫性痉挛患者,这些患者在婴儿期没有发生过心律失常。在癫痫性痉挛发作之前,这些婴儿通常是正常的,他们有局灶性或全身性脑电图异常。以英语以外的语言在当地期刊上发表可能会导致来自不同地理区域的同事发现的重要数据丢失。因此,接下来应该用英文在同行评议的期刊上发表。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
