homovanillic acid and Cryptogenic Infantile Spasms

homovanillic acid has been researched along with Cryptogenic Infantile Spasms in 7 studies

Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

"The 18 patients had either West syndrome (12 patients) or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (6 patients), which was intractable to antiepileptic drug therapy and to adrenocorticotrophic hormone."1.29Thyrotropin-releasing hormone in treatment of intractable epilepsy: neurochemical analysis of CSF monoamine metabolites. ( Kawase, S; Matsuo, S; Mitsufuji, N; Nishimura, A; Sawada, T; Takeuchi, Y; Tominaga, M; Yamazoe, I, 1995)
"1) Only one of 27 children with West syndrome and related disorders pretreated using high-dose PAL-P alone before ACTH showed a clinically excellent response."1.28Combination treatment of high-dose pyridoxal phosphate and low-dose ACTH in children with West syndrome and related disorders. ( Seki, T, 1990)
"Homovanillic acid levels were significantly increased in these patients, while 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were not significantly altered, as compared with controls."1.26Elevated homovanillic acid in cerebrospinal fluid of children with infantile spasms.
