Infantile spasms 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. The seizures occur in a series of short spasms, about a few seconds. 🎥 Tiktok/nicu_musings | We Love Babies

Infantile spasms, also known as epileptic spasms, do not always occur in infancy. These spasms are a type of seizure where the head comes down, the arms elevate, and the legs come forward. Dr. Lily Wong-Kisiel, a pediatric neurologist at Mayo Clinic Children’s Center, discusses infantile spasms and the value of early diagnosis. https://mayocl.in/2LjoBNQ | Mayo Clinic
