"Infantile Spasms"
from Explain it to me! Hosted by Dr. Billakota M.D.
Infantile spasms, sometimes called West syndrome, are a type of seizure that occurs in babies. The spasms look like a sudden stiffening of muscles, and the baby’s arms, legs, or head may bend forward. Infantile spasms most often begin between 4 and 7 months, but can start any time in the first few years of life. Later onset spasms may also occur but are rare. https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd
