Why do babies get infantile spasms

Patient's question:

Why do babies get infantile spasms?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to administer Keppra or (and) Topiramate on the basis of ACTH treatment. Infantile spasms are a relatively severe form of epilepsy. During ACTH treatment, some discomfort reactions may occur, and the therapeutic effect may sometimes appear later, requiring patience in treatment. Continuous nodding is likely still a sign of recurrence.
