What is Benign Infantile Spasm Associated with Mild Gastroenteritis?

Benign infantile spasm associated with mild gastroenteritis or Benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) are benign seizures that occur in infants and children aged between 6 months and 3 years and are associated with acute (viral) gastroenteritis. The pathogens found in the stool of CwG patients are mostly rotavirus or norovirus, which can result in mild dehydration. Short-lasting seizures (≤ 5 minutes) occur in clusters within 24 hours, without provoking features such as fever, abnormal laboratory findings in the blood (e.g., hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, or hypocalcemia), or abnormal results in the cerebrospinal fluid (e.g., central nervous system infection).

Typical Symptoms of Benign Infantile Spasm Associated with Mild Gastroenteritis

Diagnostic Questions for Benign Infantile Spasm Associated with Mild Gastroenteritis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you had a seizure?
  • Was that your first seizure ever?
  • Did you have a seizure in the past week?
  • Are you feeling nauseous or have you been vomiting?
  • Have you temporarily lost consciousness?

Treatment of Benign Infantile Spasm Associated with Mild Gastroenteritis

The occurrence of seizures does not require the repeated use of first- or second-line intravenous antiepileptic drugs in the acute stage or daily antiepileptic drug medications, since they usually do not recur and have a good prognosis.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
