Continuous Infantile Spasms as a Form of Status Epilepticus

David L. Coulter, MD

Division of Child Neurology and the Departments of Neurology and Pediatrics, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX

An infant with congenital cytomegalovirus infection first developed seizures at six weeks of age. At 31/2 months of age, he developed continuous infantile spasms that lasted for more than an hour. This episode of status epilepticus was terminated by intravenous lorazepam and paraldehyde, and seizures were subsequently controlled for seven months by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), valproic acid, and phenobarbital. This case demonstrates that continuous infantile spasms may occur as a unique form of status epilepticus in young infants. (J Child Neurol 1986;1:215-217).
