Abstract
A complete neuro-ophthalmological examination was made of 80 children affected by infantile spasms. Ocular features were inconstant and aspecific in the idiopathic, perinatal and postnatal groups. Infantile spasms in the prenatal symptomatic group frequently were associated with ocular findings related to an ectodermic defect and with brain defects. Ocular findings are helpful in the investigation of infantile spasms, both in detecting associated brain malformations and as an indication of whether further examination by computerized tomography is necessary.
