Abstract:
Epileptic spasms (ES)as an independent form of seizure,exist not only in infantile spasms but also in other epilepsy syndromes. Most ES start within 1 year of age and may also develop after 1 year of age. The onset of ES after 1 year is referred to as late onset epileptic spasms (LOS). The etiology,clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treat-ment and prognosis of LOS are different from infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Now,the progress in etiology,diagnosis and treatment of LOS were reviewed.
