Video Summary
Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) is a severe, chronic neurological disorder that usually begins in the first few months of life. It is characterized by recurrent, severe, and unprovoked seizures which can lead to severe brain damage.
Other symptoms include intellectual disability, and developmental delays. EIEE is difficult to treat, and the long-term prognosis is poor. Treatment focuses on managing seizures and providing supportive care. Some children with EIEE eventually die from complications related to the disease.
