Abstract
We observed 3 peculiar cases of tonic spasms resembling infantile spasms in EIEE or West Syndrome in patients without suppression burst pattern or hypsarrhythmia by video-EEG monitoring. Seizures are characterized by periodic flexor or extensor jerks of extremities in awaking state.
Each of the cases was not uniform in quality, but cured by antiepileptic drugs or Vit B6 followed by improvement of psychomotor activity. We are unable to identify another reports in the literature that our cases might afford some information to clarifying the epileptogenous processes of periodic spasms
