Comparison of efficacies of zonisamide versus adrenocorticotropic hormone was as following: the cessation of epileptic spasms (27% vs. 40%, p = 0.70), resolution of hypsarrhythmia at 14 days (20% vs. 33%, p = 0.68) and resolution of hypsarrhythmia at 6 weeks (36% vs. 71%, p = 0.14).

Infants with hypsarrhythmia were more likely to receive standard treatment (adrenocorticotropic hormone, prednisolone, or vigabatrin [odds ratio (OR) 2.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-4.7] and preexisting epilepsy reduced the likelihood of standard treatment (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.9-5.4).

Given the very poor prognosis of infantile spasms especially in such conditions as cerebral palsy, the combination of ACTH and vigabatrin appears to be an interesting therapy advance with very few side effects.
