baby having seizures Infantile Spasms, or Ohtahara Syndrome?

[startingoutbackwards]

The back of his head is flat

[Bribriest]

Drop your stupid camera and take him to the ER :/

[InspiredTalent84]

Why on earth would u allow ur baby that u love, to have a seizure for more then 5 minutes, common sense would be to take it to the ER when seizures last more then five minutes, what kind of parent are u..

[hakunamakarla]

my nephew had these, he is totally handicapped today!! this is from the DPT shots and other shots there giving our kids. please do not get any more shots!!! I care for my nephew, he is now 27 and was 3 months old when he started these seizures. he was born normal and with no birth trauma! stop taking the shots, look up shots and the government. its real there trying to kill our kids.

[Pippilotta26]

@hakunamakarla How do you get to this idea? Have you got any proof? If DPT shots had sideeffects like this, do you really think they would still be allowed in the developed countries where everything is under strict regulations? If we did not vaccinate our children, they would probably suffocate because of diphtheria again, or die painfully because of tetanus... and still some poor children would develop some kind of seizures that sadly often lead to some handicap.

ask your doctor to check his blood and see if it is Dravet Syndrome at 2 months old my daughter was having seizure it took 4 years to find out that Dravet Syndrome was her diagnoses with the correct meds she has controlled seizures their is help for kids with dravet syndrome my daugher is doing so much better

[Rreynaertt]

if a child or anybodyy has a seizure for more than 5 mins at a time, you have to call 911asap!!!

[zenmudhar]

I support the idea of video taping, because sometime this is the only evidence you have to get any help.

My son's video, helped us get early help

[godmadegrass]

aiyaya, that just breaks my heart.

[tiffanykuenzi]

People who ask why would you video tape your child having a seizures clearly have no experience with this. There are many reasons 1. To show the doctors because often you can't get the child to do it in front of them 2. to document any changes in the seizures, 3 To show family friends who don't see it what you deal with on a daily basis so they can better understand. 4. To show anyone who may babysit the child so they know what to expect etc it isn't like they haven't had medical help

[shawnamaddy]

why would you record your child having a seizure???????? why wouldn't you seek MEDICAL HELP????

[saschiver]

god dam, that wasnt very nice to watch. what a horrible thing to watch

[seri4508]

@tjomc82 wow you have no right to say nething like that i have a daughter with west syndrome and its very scary and hard to cope with!! ESP when there not sure what it is!!

[tjomc82]

brain damage on the child due to being irresponsible during pregnancy. i have no sympathy

[maitriprihivi]

@tjomc82 really? are you a doctor? or are you a scientist? or a close family who knew all about the parent's pregnancy? This parents had suffer enough just by going trough this, they don't need people like you to judge! So keep your opinion for yourself and see if you have any baby and had to experience this!

[brtnstnr]

@tjomc82 You're a completely closed minded jerk, who are you to judge someone you don't know. Was your mom irresponsible with YOU? Inconsiderate loser.

[plushbanana]

[dstemmle]

@Hoodprincess1999 shut up your baby is adorable and ill pray for him im so sorry no parent should have to go through that i have triplets and they are one month old and i cant imagine something happening to them so i can only imagine how feel

[brtnstnr]

@Hoodprincess1999 Just checked out a vid of yours for 3 seconds, your not so great looking yourself. Don't diss someones baby, whats wrong with you?

[lilyrosedaisy2003]

Looks exactly like the seizures my son started having when he was 1 month old. He was diagnosed with infantile spasms. His seizures have changed and he now has has complex partials. Its so important to get medical attention and treat as soon as possible.

[2704heatherwolf]

poor sweetie i have seizures also, god bless him.

[carter3m]

My son, Carter, was diagnosed with Ohtahara Syndrome. He had a Burst Supression EEG. One of his seizure types was nearly identical to your baby's.

[fourbrothersmovies]

Our son has Ohtahara Syndrome (OS). He almost always seizures by arching to one side. OS is usually diagnosed by E.E.G. and the "burst suppression" that is observed.

[XDinexitaXD]

I dont think this is Infantile spasms. My cousin is got childhood spasms (west syndrome) & her seizures are way too different, but I just dont know, Praying for him!!

[amyzcollazo]

What the fuck is your problem why are you saying things like that? How would you feel if that was your baby and someone left you a comment like that. You should grow up you stupidass prick.I hope and pray to god that day you have a baby it'll be healthy and not sick,but if that would happen you deserve it cause that would be a punishment from God for making fun of babies that have illness.

[DunOrie]

HA ur such a douche why do you take this shit so fuckin seriously HA

[amyzcollazo]

What's so funny to you? Why to you should babies with this illness should be killed?I love to hear you respond.you're the douche not me.People like you shouldn't exist for that matter.I think you are a cruel person and when you become an adult God shouldn't give you the miracle to become a parent.

[XDinexitaXD]

BECAUSE ITS SERIOUS AND YOU DONT KNOW HOW IT MAKES US SUFFER. poor Baby, Stop comenting you're soo sick.

[louloutre]

Why do American people can't make a sentence without putting GOD in it. One minute God forgives, later he punishes. Can't u guys give an opinion without refering to God? It's one thing to believe in God, but do u guys have to put it in every sentence?

[amyzcollazo]

Just to inform you I'm 100% Puerto Rican so get it right and I can use God as many times as I want what is your problem with that? Read my comments first so you can find out why I used God so many times and then reply ok bye bye now

[stillrightorwrong]

puerto rico is part of america stupid

[amyzcollazo]

I'm not stupid and i do know that Puerto Rico is part of America dumbass.I don't even know why you send me this comment.For what I could remember I didn't write anything of Puerto Rico not being part of America so please read the comments first and then reply thank you I'm out.

[stillrightorwrong]

Louloutre commented about Americans not being able to make a sentence without stating God. You replied "I'm 100% Puerto Rican so get it right" implying that you are not American.

And I agree with those saying leave God out of it. God does not strike babies down with seizures.

To the parents: I hope your baby gets well and lives a long, happy and healthy life!

[aessap]

My nephew passed from ohtahara syndrome. This looks very similar. I'm so sorry if that's what it is. I will pray that it's not. God be with you!

[nikkifromsaco]

this is definitely infantile spasms, needs acth to treat, do not treat with Vigabatrin, causes permanent tunnel vision in almost 40% of patients.

[seizure2008]

they think its "Ohtahara Syndrome! :(

[aaronbullus]

Its vital they get him on medication, Ive been ready alot about this illness and please get him on some meds, insist he has an eeg that should give some answers!!

[seizure2008]

Hello! thank you for writing! yes, I know, hard to see, he hit a neurologist and a geneticist. They still wonder what it can be. He has had seizures

since day one!

[amyzcollazo]

I was just wondering how is your son now? Is he getting better? I really hope so. No babies should go through this. They are angels and shouldn't deserve to go through anything.

[chivatolog]

@seizure2008 Hello, I am in working in Pediatrics Neurology, and I am studying Otahara Syndrome.

How old was he when he first started the seizures.

I noticed that this video is 2 years old, I think by now he must have a diagnosis, can you tell me what was it?.

[aaronbullus]

my son has just been dieagnosed with IS get your son to the docs immediatetly I cant state this enough
