[starttext]This is our 6 month old daughter having Infantile Spasms. Infantile
Spasms are a type of seizures - the seizures come in waves, numerous
seizures spread out over several minutes. This video shows about 4
minutes of the seizures occurring, from start to finish. The seizures
are occurring when she suddenly jerks her hands and arms outward (we
called it a "startled" reflex). While sometimes the cause can be found
for the seizures, in some cases the cause is unknown. For our daughter,
the cause is still not known.

[starttext]Evelyn was a happy, heathly child developing as she should for her age,
then on Tuesday 10th April she started having spasms, at first we didnt
really no what was happening, but a video on Youtube introduced us to
Infantile spasms!
An infantile spasm (IS) is a specific type of seizure seen in an
epilepsy syndrome of infancy and childhood known as West Syndrome. West
Syndrome is characterized by infantile spasms, developmental regression,
and a specific pattern on electroencephalography (EEG) testing called
hypsarrhythmia (chaotic brain waves). The onset of infantile spasms is
usually in the first year of life, typically between 3-12 months.
