Infantile Spasms is a rare type of epilepsy that typically occurs in infants, usually between 3 to 12 months of age. It is characterized by sudden, brief muscle contractions that can cause the baby to bend forward or extend their arms and legs. These spasms often happen in clusters and may be mistaken for normal startle reflexes. The condition is often associated with developmental delays and can be linked to underlying issues such as brain damage or genetic disorders. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, as timely intervention can improve outcomes and help manage symptoms effectively.
