  • Title: [Prognosis in children with infantile seizures and possible factors influencing it].
    Author: Wässer S, Scheidemann I, Bergmann L, Kliem E.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1983 Jan; 35(1):37-48. PubMed ID: 6407039.
    Abstract:
    Different developments (good n = 8, poor n = 15 and very poor n = 27) in 50 former patients with infantile myoclonic seizures are compared with findings from the acute phase of the disease after 11.1 +/- 4.1 years. It has been confirmed that it is sensible with regard to intellectual development to distinguish idiopathic (very seldom) and symptomatic cases in infantile myoclonic seizures. An early beginning of the disease, developmental backwardness as well as pathological and neurological findings as signs of a cerebral damage or disease (symptomatic cases) suggest a poor prognosis.
