A member asked:
Does infantile spasm cause cerebral atrophy or it is the opposite way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Infantile spasm (west syndrome) has many causes. One cause of infantile spasm is cerebral atrophy. I imagine that the other causes of infantile spasm will also be associated with cerebral atrophy as a secondary effect.
