hydroxyindoleacetic acid and Spasms, Infantile

hydroxyindoleacetic acid has been researched along with Spasms, Infantile in 7 studies

(5-hydroxyindol-3-yl)acetic acid : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at C-5.

Spasms, Infantile: An epileptic syndrome characterized by the triad of infantile spasms, hypsarrhythmia, and arrest of psychomotor development at seizure onset. The majority present between 3-12 months of age, with spasms consisting of combinations of brief flexor or extensor movements of the head, trunk, and limbs. The condition is divided into two forms: cryptogenic (idiopathic) and symptomatic (secondary to a known disease process such as intrauterine infections; nervous system abnormalities; BRAIN DISEASES, METABOLIC, INBORN; prematurity; perinatal asphyxia; TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS; etc.). (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp744-8)

"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.
