Description : Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy is a severe form of epilepsy first reported
by Ohtahara et al. (1976). It is characterized by frequent tonic seizures or spasms
beginning in infancy with a specific EEG finding of suppression-burst patterns, characterized
by high-voltage bursts alternating with almost flat suppression phases. Approximately
75% of EIEE patients progress to 'West syndrome,' which is characterized by tonic
spasms with clustering, arrest of psychomotor development, and hypsarrhythmia on EEG
(Kato et al., 2007). Deprez et al. (2009) reviewed the genetics of epilepsy syndromes
starting in the first year of life and included a diagnostic algorithm.;
