"The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of corticotropin (ACTH) versus vigabatrin in treating infantile spasms and to determine which medication has a more favorable long-term outcome in terms of cognitive function, evolution of epilepsy, and incidence of autism."5.10Prospective preliminary analysis of the development of autism and epilepsy in children with infantile spasms.
