摘要：

A case of infantile spasms that were persistently preceded by a partial seizure is presented. The absence of normal interhemispheric communication through the corpus callosum excludes rapid secondary generalization via this route as a possible explanation for bilateral spasms. A mechanism implicating the brainstem as the common source of infantile spasms and their characteristic hypsarrhythmic EEG pattern is discussed. © 1990.
