  4. Benign myoclonus of infancyAka benign nonepileptic infantile spasmsMay present with myoclonus or atonia, in clusters. Begins 3-8mos old. Increase in intensity over months, remits spontaneously at 2-3y/o.Normal neuro exam, EEG, and developmentWhat time of day? during wakefulness, frequently at mealtime.

  5. Breath Holding SpellsFamHx in 30%Autonomic dysfunctionOnset prior to 18 mos, resolve by 4y/oExcellent prognosisPallid spells are associated with bradycardia, extremely rare cases require atropine or cardiac pacing.Associated with what finding on CBC? Iron Deficiency Anemia Supplementation may lead to resolution of symptoms in 30%

  6. Infantile SpasmsAka West syndrome (infantile spasms, arrested development, hypsarhythmia on EEG)Peak onset 2-7mos old, but up to 4yrsOnly 10% go on to achieve normal developmentTreatment? ACTH

  7. OpsoclonusMyoclonusParaneoplastic syndrome of neuroblastomaOnly 2% of NB present with O.M.50% with O.M. have N.B.Can also result from viral infxn, post-strep Pharyngitis, metastasis, metabolic d.o., intracranial hemorrhage

  8. Myoclonic Epilepsy of InfancyMyoclonic jerks begin 1st year of life. May be one limb or multifocal. Demonstrates spike and wave pattern on EEG.Range from benign to severe
