Benign familial infantile epilepsy is a clinical syndrome that may be more common than is presently recognized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

EEG is required to distinguish myoclonic seizures from nonictal causes of myoclonus, which can arise from lesions of the cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, or even peripheral nerve (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]

Shorter duration between the onset of IS and initiation of standard treatment appears to lead to an improved outcome; therefore early recognition of the seizures and early treatment are essential. [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Tonic or atonic seizures First-line treatment: offer sodium valproate as first-line treatment. Adjunctive treatment: offer lamotrigine as adjunctive treatment if first-line treatment with sodium valproate is ineffective or not tolerated. [patient.info]

Treatment with anticonvulsant drugs is not necessary but they are often prescribed and are effective at controlling the seizures. This form of epilepsy resolves after one or two years, and appears to be completely benign. [en.wikipedia.org]

The subjects, from 11 families, were between the ages of 3 and 19 months and had normal neurodevelopmental status, a normal interictal electroencephalogram, a family history of similar seizures, and an excellent prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis for children with IS is largely dependent on the underlying cause. The intellectual prognosis for children with IS is generally poor because many babies with IS have neurological impairment prior to the onset of spasms. [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Prognosis The prognosis depends heavily on the underlying etiology and the epilepsy syndrome. Patients with a benign syndrome typically respond well to medication and may outgrow their epilepsy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Herein, the involvement of the SCN1B gene in the etiology of BFIE, contributing to the disease phenotype as a modifier or part of an oligogenic predisposition, is shown for the first time. Copyright 2017 European Paediatric Neurology Society. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These seizures are likely also linked in some way to ion channel dysfunction as is found in the familial seizures, but they may be caused by multiple etiologies or occur as a multigenomic entity. [37, 38, 39] These sorts of multifactorial etiologies are [emedicine.medscape.com]

Genetic causes are not directly preventable. Causes are more often preventable as the infant or young child grows older. [childneurologyfoundation.org]

While this condition can be easily controlled by medication, it impacts on quality of life and may prevent people from participating in some activities. [news-medical.net]

Prevention There is no known way to prevent the onset of seizure disorders, but seizures may be controlled and sometimes prevented by the use of medication. [healthofchildren.com]

In addition, parents should also be aware that these drugs may prevent recurrences but do not alter the long-term prognosis for attaining seizure remission. [aafp.org]
