What is Ohtahra syndrome?
Ohtahrara syndrome is a relatively rare form of epilepsy. It is also known as early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with Burst suppression (EIEE) or early myoclonal encephalopathy (EME). The symptoms of this disorder that cause epileptic seizures and nerve degeneration often start ten days before the infant and some children even experienced symptoms of seizures, while still in the womb. While Ohtahrara syndrome is considered very unusual, it usually carries a poor prognosis. Its effects can be relatively serious and most of the suffering will not survive to achieve adolescence. Ohhahrara syndrome is not a specific process of the disease. Suffering usually shows the same symptoms and experience the same cognitive, developmental and physical damage, but the cause of the disease can be very different on an individual basis. Ohhtahrasyndrome is usually more difficult to heal when it is the result of structural abnormalities in the brain, rather than from a metabolic disorder.
The symptoms of this disorder usually seem very early. Most children will experience their first symptomAky in the first days of life and is expected to display all symptoms before they will be three months. It is assumed that some children experience their first symptoms before birth, even if they are still in the womb.
Ohtahrara syndrome causes epileptic seizures that may occur independently or in clusters. Seat patterns may be present and may appear or disappear over time. Treatment often does not do little to improve the frequency or severity of seizures associated with this syndrome.
Other symptoms may include lack of strong reflex suction in newborns and a general lack of muscle strength in a newborn. MAY children develop problems with swallow reflex and respiratory reflex, leading to breathing problems. These children are also considered vulnerable to acid reflux.
Children with Ohtahra syndrome often do not survive childhood. Many die like infants. U with this syndroMU usually occurs nerve degeneration and damage is often progressive. As patients grow, they usually experience serious developmental delays, learning disabilities and delayed motor skills. Scales are generally more common, as nervous degeneration proceeds.
