P.052 Benign spasms of infancy - a mimicker of infantile epileptic disorders

Abstract: Benign spasms of infancy (BSI), previously described as benign non‐epileptic infantile spasms or benign myoclonus of early infancy, are non‐epileptic movements manifesting during the first year of life and spontaneously resolving in the second year of life. BSI are characterized by spasms typically lasting 1–2 seconds, involving, to varying degrees, the head, neck, trunk, shoulders and upper extremities. Ictal and interictal EEG recordings are normal. BSI are not associated with developmental regression and do… Show more

“…The spectrum of motor phenomena observed in this entity is wide and includes myoclonic jerks, spasms, brief tonic contractions and negative myoclonus. Distinction between BMEI and infantile epileptic disorders can be challenging given the clinical similarities [2][3]. Ictal electroencephalography (EEG) recording is always normal, which makes it the gold standard test for the differential diagnosis between this entity and the epileptic syndromes in infancy, mainly West syndrome.…”
