Abstract
None:
In this retrospective audit of 56 children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), neonatal hypoglycemic brain injury (NHBI) was the leading etiology (35.71%), followed by hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (25%). Other causes accounted for 30.3% cases. Hypotonia, visual concerns, and microcephaly were more prominent in NHBI-related IESS compared to HIE.

Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
