Hypsarrhythmia is a specific type of abnormal brain wave pattern often seen in infants. It is characterized by chaotic and irregular electrical activity in the brain, typically observed through an electroencephalogram (EEG). This pattern is commonly associated with infantile spasms, a form of epilepsy that can affect a child's development. The presence of hypsarrhythmia usually indicates an underlying neurological condition, such as West syndrome. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, as they can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes for affected children. Treatment options may include medications and therapies tailored to the individual needs of the child.
