Infantile spasms is a type of seizure disorder usually occurring within the first 24 months of life. The standard treatment is intramuscular injections of repository corticotropin (HP ACTHAR gel). The child with infantile spasms is at risk for developmental delay, even if the seizures are controlled. The parents' grief reaction to this prognosis may affect their ability to learn and implement the treatment plan. Discharge planning for children and families is extensive and must begin at the time of the child's admission to the hospital.
婴儿痉挛症是一种通常发生在生命最初24个月内的癫痫性疾病。标准治疗方法是肌肉注射长效促肾上腺皮质激素（HP ACTHAR凝胶）。患有婴儿痉挛症的儿童即使癫痫发作得到控制，仍有发育迟缓的风险。父母对这种预后的悲伤反应可能会影响他们学习和实施治疗计划的能力。针对儿童及其家庭的出院计划内容广泛，必须在孩子入院时就开始。
