What is the prognosis for children with Aicardi syndrome?

Your child’s future well-being depends on their symptoms and how severe they are. Two of the biggest concerns are:

• Seizure activity: Children grow out of infantile spasms. But they may develop other types of seizures, including generalized tonic-clonic seizures. There can also be complications like sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
• Respiratory illness: Muscle weakness in the lungs and diaphragm can cause life-threatening infections.
