The relationship between the electroencephalogram(EEG),head computerized tomography and the prognosis of spasm in infants

Objective To investigate relationship between prognosis of infant spasm and electroencephalogram(EEG) and head CT.Method 47 infants underwent EEG and head CT.Follow up was performed to compare the prognosis during different periods.Result Among 31 infants with abnormal head CT,2 infants were cured,17 were improved and effective rate was 61.3% . Among 16 patients with normal head CT,6 were cured,8 were improved,and effective rate was 87.5% . Among 34 infants with high rhythm disorder,8 were cured,21 were improved,effective rate was 85.29% . For 13 infants with abnormal EEG of other types,no infants were cured,4 were improved,and effective rate was 30.8% .Conclusion Changed head CT not various EEG has no significant effect on prognosis of infant spasm(P >0.05).Prognosis is favorable in infants with high rhythm disorder(P<0.01).
