1217008005: Epileptic spasms (finding)

SNOMED CT Concept\Clinical finding (finding)\...

\Head finding (finding)\Finding of brain\Seizure\A transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain, regardless of whether focal, generalized, or unknown onset, whether aware or impaired awareness, and whether motor or nonmotor.\An epileptic seizure that involves musculature in any form. The motor event could consist of an increase (positive) or decrease (negative) in muscle contraction to produce a movement, regardless of whether focal, generalised, or unknown onset, and whether aware or impaired awareness.\Epileptic spasms are a sudden flexion, extension, or mixed extension-flexion of predominantly proximal and truncal muscles, regardless of whether focal, generalised, or unknown onset, and whether aware or impaired awareness. An epileptic spasm is usually more sustained than a myoclonic movement but not as sustained as a tonic seizure. Limited forms may occur including grimacing, head nodding, or subtle eye movements. Epileptic spasms frequently occur in clusters.

Infantile spasms-broad thumbs syndrome is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by profound developmental delay, facial dysmorphism (i.e. microcephaly, large anterior fontanel, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, beaked nose, micrognathia), broad thumbs and flexion and/or extension spasms. Bilateral cataracts, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hydrocele have also been reported. EEG shows hypsarrhythmic features and MRI may reveal partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, mild brain atrophy and/or ventriculomegaly. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1990.
