Neurodevelopment Outcome

Hyperekplexia is an exaggerated startle to external stimuli associated with a generalised increase in tone seen in neonates with both sporadic and genetic predisposition. This is an uncommon neurological entity that is misdiagnosed as seizure. A 28-days-old infant was admitted to us with characteristic intermittent generalised tonic spasm being treated as a seizure disorder. The infant had characteristic stiffening episode, exaggerated startle and non-habituation on tapping the nose. Hyperekplexia was suspected and confirmed by genetic testing (mutation in the β subunit of glycine was found). Initial improvement was seen with the use of clonazepam, which was not sustained. At the age of 4.5 years, the child is still having neurobehavioural issues like hyperactivity and sensory hyper-responsiveness. Usually, hyperekplexia is benign in nature. We report a case of hyperekplexia with non-sense mutation in the β subunit of GlyR gene having abnormal neurodevelopmental findings at 4.5 years.

Infantile spasms are an age-specific seizure disorder that occur in infants with no known underlying disorder or prior neurologic insult (cryptogenic group) as well as in infants with a variety of genetic disorders or known prior neurologic insult (symptomatic group).1-8 The presence of infantile spasms is associated with a high incidence of developmental retardation (87%)3 even in previously normal infants.3,5-7 Although there are many contradictory studies, it is generally believed that the infants in the symptomatic group, especially those with abnormal findings on neurologic examination prior to the onset of the seizures, have a significantly higher incidence of mental retardation and epilepsy than the infants in the cryptogenic group.1-9
