The results of neuroradiologic studies of 71 children with infantile spasms treated with ACTH were correlated with the developmental outcome at follow-up (mean 62 months, range 14 to 207 months). Fifty-two (73%) patients had an abnormal NRS on initial evaluation; 49% had cerebral atrophy, 18% had congenital anomalies, and 6% had hydrocephalus. Twenty patients were normal on initial clinical evaluation. At follow-up only the eight (40%) with normal NRS were normal. Twelve (60%) who had unexpected abnormalities on NRS were retarded at follow-up. CAT scanning is necessary to predict the developmental outcome in developmentally normal children with infantile spasm. Eight of nine patients with normal NRS in the early treatment group were developmentally normal at presentation and follow-up. Ten patients who were developmentally normal before spasms began, and had normal NRS but were in the late treatment group, were retarded at initial evaluation and follow-up. This finding suggests that early treatment of children who have a normal NRS and normal development at onset of spasm prevents mental retardation.
