RESUMEN
Se realiza una revisión de las características electroencefalográficas de los espasmos infantiles, espasmos epilépticos o síndrome de West, y otras entidades relacionadas con este. Se enfatiza en los patrones más frecuentes, fundamentalmente en los 2 tipos de hipsarritmia clásica y periódica o fragmentada, observados en el síndrome anteriormente mencionado. Se comenta en relación con el trazado de suppression-burst o paroxismos-supresión, y su correlación con los síndromes de Ohtahara, y Aicardi y Goutières, descritos respectivamente en 1976 y 1978. Se aclara que estos 2 patrones no son exclusivos de estos síndromes, y pueden ser observados en otras entidades en el neonato, como la encefalopatía anóxica isquémica, la meningitis neonatal bacteriana y trastornos metabólicos, entre otros.
ABSTRACT
A review was made on the encephalographic characteristics of infantile spasms, epileptic spasms, or West syndrome, and other related entities. Emphasis was made on the most frequent patterns, mainly the two types of hypsarrhythmia, classical and periodic, and fragmented, which are observed in this syndrome. Likewise, comments were made on the suppression-burst or burst-suppression tracing and its correlation with Ohtahara, and Aicardi and Goutières syndromes that were described in 1976 and 1978, respectively. It was clarified that these two patterns are not exclusive of these syndromes and may be also observed in other illnesses affecting the neonates such as anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, neonatal bacterial meningitis and metabolic disorders, among others.
