Patient's question:
My daughter started showing head drooping, hands and feet clenching, accompanied by tears. The condition became severe when the child would cry loudly. This happened several times a day, with each episode lasting about ten minutes. After a week, she was diagnosed with infantile spasms at Beijing Children's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Your current treatment plan is correct. Infantile spasms typically begin around 6-10 months of age, and most transition to other seizure types after 3-4 years. As for whether surgery is possible, current information alone cannot provide an answer. It requires a thorough electroencephalogram (EEG) evaluation and supporting imaging data.
