Description

Electrically elicited blink reflex (BR) were analyzed in seven patients with age dependent epileptic encephalopathies (5 patients with infantile spasms and 2 with EIEE).<BR>Four patients with infantile spasms showed prolonged latency of the late BR responses (R2). In 2 patients with EIEE showing suppression burst pattern on EEG, R2 was not detectable.<BR>Rs abnormality in BR might reflect the dysfunction of the brainstem reticular formation in age dependent epileptic encephalopathies.
